Dylan hotel is a convenient and affordable place to stay if you are heading out at SFO airport. Its very close to lots of good restaurants and free parking. Outside hallways since it used to be a motel, but they have it set up to only access the floors through the lobby. Staff was good. Lobby is very nice, and there is free cocoa and tea. Thin walls but overall a good stay.

Problem is not with hotel. Flight was cancelled due to poor weather, which meant my meetings were cancelled. Your service would not allow refund even though the hotel would

Reasonably priced hotel very close to SFO for those overnighting prior to early morning departure. Only vending services. Parking difficult for late arrivals. May have to park on street, which problematic with luggage on board.

Close to SF International / Affordable & Clean
Nice little hotel close to San Francisco International airport. About a $25 Uber ride, The hotel has an arrangement with cabs for $20 back to the airport (Nov 2024 prices). Free coffee in the lobby (nice new machine with variety. It's also close to the Millbrae rail stop if you need to get into SF downtown or elsewhere. I'll stay here again.

Very nice hotel that is different from the big chains. It has a unique look, great location for one night stay in the airport area. It is a bit old but maintained well. The only minus I see is the air condition system. It makes a lot of noise and dries you out.

The Dylan is a very nice property. The rooms are nice and functional. The only issue is parking. They do not have enough parking spaces for all of the customers. When I arrived, the only parking option was to park on the street. Other than that, Everything was fine

I stayed at the Dylan for one night as my flight arrival was too late and connecting flight was too early the next day to justify going into San Francisco for the night, which is what i usually do. This was a great alternative. I took an uber from the airport, but in hindsight this was a mistake, i used BART in the morning and it is actually quicker and a fraction of the price! The BART is 5 minutes easy downhill walk from the Dylan. The hotel itself is lovely. Reception very friendly with free coffee and drinks to purchase, and a really relaxed vibe around the hotel. Although relaxed, the hotel is really well maintained and feels unique. My room had a turntable in it. It was great being able to play a few records in the morning as I was getting ready to leave. I didn't have time to venture out far but I did walk to In N Out in the evening, it's about a 15 minute walk, and then had breakfast over the road at Peter's Cafe in the morning (5 minutes). Would definitely stay again, and would recommend to anyone looking for an overnight stay close to the airport
