This hotel is bayside (but fronts on a highway-paralleling tidal creek, not the Bay itself) of Highway US-101, south of San Francisco International Airport, with shuttle service every twenty minutes during extended hours (shared), and by arrangement during mid-day hours.

I can't really improve on mcgahat's excellent review with photos (thanks!)^, so I will just stick with the facts and tell you what it has now after two-year closure.

The reception was well done, and we were given breakfast chits as well as a chit for two bottles of water from the 24-hour Pavilion Pantry. Even numbered rooms face the back of the property and the Red Roof + inn, and I can hear noise. In March 2017, we watched the police detain a driver in the Red Rood parking lot.

The rooms are recently refurbished, clean and bright classic Hilton Garden Inn.

We gave our eggs order to the server; pancakes, French toast are also on offer, but no waffles. The staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. No standing in queues here - the efficient waiter takes your orders.
