Skip the freeway. Take the BART.

I do understand the allure of staying at say, the St. Francis instead of Pleasanton though. I try to stay in SFO as much as I can but sadly business realities often get in the way of personal wants!
This Four Points is only about a quarter mile from the BART station. The Four Points has a free shuttle that will take you to the BART station; you will be there in 5 minutes.

I always take the BART from here to the airport, or anyplace in the Bay Area where we need to go. I never get on the expressway in this town - never. Traffic in the freeways in this town is ridiculous- and mind you, I have lived in Houston and Dallas, so I know what I am talking about.

So if you stay here, take the BART, and go to wherever you need to go. The BART is cheap, reliable, and has a minimum number of drunks/lunatics.....
