Bayhill Inn San Bruno

Our decision to stay there was quite last-minute, but we are so glad we chose it. From the moment we arrived, Lax was incredibly gracious and understanding, which set a wonderful tone for our stay. We found the hotel to be exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which we greatly appreciated. Although the proximity to the road made it a bit noisy, we discovered that running the A/C fan effectively masked the outside noise, allowing us to enjoy a peaceful stay. One small suggestion we have is to add some curtains to the room, as the outside light did make it difficult for the room to fully darken. Our room was spacious, with a comfortable king bed and plenty of room to maneuver. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again.

I reserved a single room with 2 beds for my adult son and me, at a price of $170. Our experience was poor for many reasons. - The hotel is right on a busy arterial, and the road noise was constant. We ended up sleeping with the A/C on to help mask the traffic noise. - There were no blackout curtains, only large-slat shutters that could not mitigate the light coming into the room. - Our room was near the stairs, which rang like the Liberty Bell with every step. - Linens were cheap, thin and rough. - Inbound commercial jets flew right over the property, and the sound insulation seemed nonexistent. We will avoid this location in the future.

I stayed here the night before my flight out of SFO for $119/night, and it was solid. My room and bed were clean and comfortable, and I have zero complaints. But here’s a warning: BRING EARPLUGS. If you don’t, you won’t be able to sleep. Also bring water if you don’t want to drink out of the faucet, but the tap water was fine. And for those of us without cars, yes, the area is a bit sketchy and my 6AM walk in the dark to the San Bruno BART station (FYI BART fare from San Bruno to SFO is $9, and from Millbrae to SFO is $5.20) was a bit unsettling, but there’s lots of traffic along El Camino Real so it’s not terrible. If I had a choice I’d stay near Millbrae BART, but if you’re going to be in San Bruno, go ahead and pick Bayhill Inn.
