San Bruno Hotels

San Bruno's Courtyard by Marriott hotel has the typical design for this brand with the 147 rooms and suites (on 2 floors) built around a landscaped courtyard garden featuring mature trees, flowers, footpaths and a gazebo, though not in this case a swimming pool as that is inside, next to the hot tub. Rooms are large & clean, and the hotel serves freshly cooked breakfast in a cafe off the lobby, but perhaps the best aspect is the central location - a short walk from many restaurants and shops including at the Tanforan Mall, one mile from the San Bruno BART station, right next to I-380 half way between I-280 & US 101, and 3 miles from San Francisco International Airport (served by free shuttle).

Along busy El Camino Real through the center of San Bruno, the new Villa Montes, an Ascend Collection Hotel (formerly part of the Clarion Collection) is a small but elegant boutique-style property providing a superior standard of accommodation in its 41 well furnished rooms, some of which feature a wet bar, balcony and extra sofa bed (all have refrigerator/microwave). Both free breakfast (full) and a free evening wine reception are served, with other meals available from a group of restaurants one block north on El Camino Plaza. The above average range of amenities includes a fitness center, large hot tub, sauna, sun deck, convenience store, meeting/banquet facilities, a free shuttle to San Francisco Airport (just 2.5 miles away), and a spa with on-site massage therapist.

A little way north of the center of San Bruno, CA, the Comfort Inn & Suites is a compact, 3 floor hotel, 2 miles by road from the international airport (served by free shuttle), and 12 miles from downtown San Francisco. The building has one unusual feature in a central courtyard with ornate fountain, and it has generally bright, spacious and modern rooms, all with microwave/refrigerator, and some containing a wet bar and whirlpool bath. Free deluxe continental breakfast is available; for other meals there is one restaurant (pizza) close by though a better selection half a mile away along San Mateo Avenue. Road connections are good, with the US 101 - I-380 interchange just 3 blocks away.

Super 8 San Bruno is typical of the many small hotels along El Camino Real, offering basic amenities (free wi-fi, free continental breakfast, hot tub) at affordable rates. A shuttle to San Francisco Airport (3.7 miles) is provided between 4 am and midnight. The hotel has a secure, free parking lot at the rear, accessed by an 8 foot driveway through the building, which has interior corridors, four floors and 54 rooms.
