Getting off the plane at San Francisco International was fun – mainly as there was quite a queue building for the return flight back to JFK.
Meanwhile, my mind was focusing on the small room and how to get to the hotel. A comfort break later, and it was just focusing on getting to the hotel.
Every beating second.
Pass here at your own risk traveller!
With no luggage to pick up, I headed straight through the magic door.
And whilst I could see signs for various things, I couldn’t pull up a shuttle bus timetable. I therefore swallowed my pride and another $20 for the ride to the Hyatt Regency San Francisco.
Yes, I could had gone for a Uber or a Lyft – but my mind wasn’t exactly focused on it.

Shot next day.
I wandered into the hotel, and followed the signs towards reception.
Look out!
The Atrium
With the clock pretty close to midnight, I checked in. My card was swiped for incidentals after a short wait to check in
This way looks good.
Reception.
Yes. Even close to midnight there was a queue. The joy of airport hotels.
Art they call it.
With that I headed to the room – and noticed it face inwards to the atrium, as opposed to outwards. Normally, I’d be annoyed about this – but as its a free night, and also I’m staying for a night, I wasn’t in the mood to kick up a fuss.
To the elevators!
It’s… somewhere.
The other thing was – I was pretty tired still.
Let’s take a look at the room. It’s a pretty standard Hyatt Room – and that’s no bad thing to be honest. It had two twin rooms (a little much for a night like this), a big TV and the usual amenities
The room
Big TV is big.
One almost pristine. One wrecked. I’ll let you guess which one I slept in. And which one I used to put my backside on later.
They like these angular lamps…
Angular.
You are here.
Phone and PC cable.
This lonely chair had luggage on it at least.
One feature I loved was the night-light that self-activated when you got near it. A good thing to have when you’re wandering bleary-eyed in a hotel room you don’t know inside-out.
Clever.
Plugs and USB Sockets were plentiful. Except I had to move the lamp forward a lot to cope with the oversized travel adaptor I fly with.
Good luck fitting a US to UK adaptor on that. And probably most American plugs for that matter that use three pins…
The bathroom is a typical airport hotel room one – in other words, it has a shower for a bath. It has the usual Hyatt Kentt MD products in the bathroom – as I’ve said in the past, nothing too offensive (but I do miss the White Ginger from oh so many years ago).
Amenities
Showers.
I popped some TV on (BBC America had an X-Files Marathon… I wasn’t exactly interested), and I watched, typed, and eventually dozed off
And woke up with the morning. And dozed off again.
Feed me coffee. People will be fine if they do.
By 9am, I was fully awake again. With a little time repacking my rubbish into my bag (as well as a post or two), I was almost ready for the off.
What’s through here…?
The view from the room. Not the Bay area admittedly.
I headed to the check-out, and confirmed that all requirements had been satisfied and no further charges were required.. That done, I headed to the shuttle bus.
Overall: Hmm. Whilst this property was good in the past, there was something lacking this time. Maybe it was because I arrived at just past mid-night, or the inside facing room. But for a crash-pad, it did the job.
Although at $265 cash.. It’s more than a little steep for the Hyatt Regency San Francisco.
Next: Into San Francisco on the BART, the Cable Car and the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins.
