Sofitel Hotel, Redwood City, CA
For the Bay area, this hotel is very nice and inexpensive; within 10 miles of SF Int'l Airport, and near many high tech firms. The hotel has a free shuttle to/from the SF Int'l Airport, but you have to call them and tell them you're a guest of the hotel for them to actually come and pick you up.
Their staff doesn't quite know how to handle or interact with non-business travellers. It didn't seem matter that I was a hotel guest or stayed for a few days, some of their front desk people seriously need to take a customer service course.
I suppose business travellers get better service. If I were to stay in the area again, I might want to find a hotel that's closer to better eating areas, or has a concierge desk that knows where the good eateries are. Expensive doesn't even begin to describe how food is priced as the hotel.
