The 340-room, upper-middle-range Embassy Suites is attractively
priced, given its two-room suites, free hot breakfast, and free airport shuttle
in a notoriously expensive city. It’s an attractive property that received a
renovation in 2014, with a lush tropical atrium and lovely waterfront location near
the airport. But bathrooms are surprisingly small, and overall value is
diminished by fees for both parking and Wi-Fi. And, while close to the airport,
no restaurants or stores are within walking distance. For a property closer to the city center, travelers could try Hotel Adagio. And for those staying close to SFO, the DoubleTree by Hilton San Francisco Airport North gives an alternative.

Scene
An inviting tropical oasis on the waterfront
The Embassy Suites exudes a tropical feel from the moment of
arrival along the palm-lined street where a Mediterranean-style fountain awaits.
The lobby engulfs guests in soft yellowish light illuminating earth-toned tile floors, walls, and couches and chairs across from the long front desk. It’s a cozy spot, in stark contrast to the adjacent
eight-story atrium where a bank of skylights bring a flood of natural light into
the conservatory-like environment filled with lush tropical greenery. Comfortable
seating can be found in the expansive atrium that leads to a large patio and
lawn overlooking San Francisco Bay. It’s a pleasant place to watch airport
traffic or simply relax. Just a few steps away, the San Francisco Bay Trail
winds along the waterfront to the picturesque Coyote Point Recreation Area. The
Embassy Suites is a peaceful home base for harried air travelers or for tourists
after a long day of sightseeing.
Location
On the bay, near the airport and office buildings
The hotel is located in Burlingame on San Francisco Bay
between San Francisco International Airport and downtown. Driving time from the
airport is about 10 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 to the Embassy Suites. But the waterfront San Francisco Bay Trail adjacent to the hotel leads walkers and
joggers to the nearby Coyote Point Recreation Area where there's a lagoon and
golf course.
Rooms
Attractive two-room suites, but small bathrooms
The generally spacious, two-room suites provide separate
living and sleeping quarters, all with phones and 32-inch flat-screen TVs. Living rooms have sleeper sofas. Executive Boardroom Suites swap out their living
rooms for boardroom tables, high-back chairs, and pull-down screens for
meetings. Rich, reddish wood furnishings and a distinctive silver-and-dark gray
striped carpet highlight the decor, along with earth-toned drapes, wall
coverings, and upholstered couches and chairs. In the foyers separating the living rooms from the bedrooms, granite countertops hold sinks, coffeemakers, and
microwaves above mini-fridges. Beige-tile bathrooms, while clean and
functional, are surprisingly small with toilets wedged between the wood plus granite-topped vanities and shower/tub combos. The ADA-accessible Queen Suites’ bathrooms
are much larger, with vanities outside the bathrooms, roll-in showers with
hand-held showerheads and seats. Some rooms offer sweeping bay views, while
others overlook multi-story office buildings. Wi-Fi is available for a fee.
