Overview

Located only a few minutes' drive from San Francisco International Airport, Best Western Plus El Rancho Inn is a picturesque, Spanish Mission-style hotel that has been operating for more than six decades. Due to its proximity, it is a viable and affordable option for travelers flying in and out of the airport.

Located just off Highway 101 in Millbrae, the Best Western is just a six-minute drive to the terminal at San Francisco International and is within walking distance of a couple of restaurants. For business travelers, The South San Francisco Conference Center is a 10-minute drive. However popular attractions such as Fisherman’s Wharf and the heart of downtown are 30-to-45-minutes away.

Amenities at the hotel are a highlight, with an ample number of features to suit the on-the-go diverse clientele. The Terrace Café features a free continental breakfast buffet with eggs, as well as to-go bags for guests with early flights. The Café offers a cozy setting that includes a stone fireplace and the Veranda Bar, that offers happy hour specials daily. Lunch and dinner offerings include classic American dishes such as pizza, steaks, chops, and burgers. There is also an oval outdoor pool, fitness center, and small business center. Free parking, a guest laundry room, and a 24-hour airport shuttles are among other amenities, and park-and-fly packages that offer free parking for up to two weeks while guests travel is available.

Accommodations are bland but well-maintained and come in Standard Room with either King, Queen, or Double Queens. Larger, two-room suites with sleeper sofas and kitchenettes are also available. All rooms feature 37-inch flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers with free coffee, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. Suites with kitchenettes add microwaves, wet bars, dishes, and dining tables.
