The 210-room, upper-middle-range DoubleTree by Hilton San Francisco
Airport North is a clean and comfortable property conveniently located near the
airport and connected via a free shuttle service. Extensive features -- including free on-site parking, a full-service
restaurant, room service, an indoor pool, and 24/7 fitness and business centers -- make it appealing to all busy travelers. And rooms offer ample space, nice bathrooms, and mini-fridges.
But the shuttle schedule can cause frustrating delays, and no outside
restaurants or stores are within walking distance. While the DoubleTree is
competitively priced, choice abounds nearby. Lower rates at good hotels can be
found, including at the adjacent Homewood Suites by Hilton San Francisco
Airport North.

Scene
Spacious and comfortable with casual sophistication
The lobby of the DoubleTree is spacious, bright, and
comfortable with white marble tile on the floor that’s accented by red
patterned rugs. Clusters of white and red upholstered chairs frame
clear Plexiglas coffee tables, and a modern chandelier emits soft reddish-orange light. Wood paneling graces some of the lobby walls
including behind the large wood front desk. But it's the wall-mounted screen displaying arrival/departure information that makes it clear this is an airport hotel. The restaurant and bar share an open, comfortable space. A long, rectangular bar with a
black granite top is set off by zigzag carpeting. The restaurant area features
dark wood tables and the same multi-colored, patterned carpet. Windows look out onto lush landscaping, and outdoor seating
offers bay views. The well-appointed fitness center also overlooks outside
greenery as well as the adjacent indoor pool. While certainly a hotel for
business travelers, tourists and families will feel comfortable here as well.
Location
In a business area near the airport, on the bay
The hotel is located in Brisbane on San Francisco Bay, just
off the 101 (Bayshore) Freeway between San Francisco International Airport and
downtown. Driving time from the airport is about seven minutes, and about 20
minutes to Moscone Center and other downtown attractions. The South San
Francisco Conference Center is a 10-minute drive. Once at the airport, train
service aboard the area BART system takes approximately 30 minutes to downtown.
Numerous businesses and office buildings surround the property. Although other
hotels are in the immediate area, no restaurants or stores are within walking
distance. But, the San Francisco Bay Trail runs adjacent to
the hotel for those guests seeking a pleasant place to walk or run near the
water.
Rooms
Ample space with tasteful decor and plenty of amenities including mini-fridges
Guest rooms offer ample space and simple yet tasteful decor
dominated by a dark brown and beige motif in the carpet, drapes, wall
coverings, and furniture. All standard rooms have either one king or two queen beds. Large work desks and office chairs on casters should appeal to
business travelers, along with the free Wi-Fi and wired Internet. Simple dark brown dressers hold 42-inch
flat-screen TVs, and beige upholstered armchairs with leather footstools give a cozy spot to read or surf the web. Small countertops over mini-fridges hold coffeemakers and free bottled water. Beige-tiled bathrooms are equally spacious, with large brown wood and granite vanities, good lighting, magnifying mirrors, and shower/tub combos. A two-room suite
with king and pull-out sofa is an available option. All rooms provide iHome
alarm clocks, electronic safes, and robes and slippers. Some rooms offer bay views, while others overlook the
freeway.
Features
Free airport shuttle and on-site parking, full-service restaurant, indoor pool, and 24-hour business center

Guests receive free bottled water and DoubleTree’s signature fresh-baked cookies upon arrival. Coffee is provided in the lobby, as are daily newspapers. Airport arrival/departure information is posted on a wall-mounted monitor, and free Wi-Fi is provided throughout the hotel. The WhiteCaps Drinks + Eats restaurant/lounge is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But breakfast is not included in the room rate. The lounge offers daily happy hour drink specials.
