What guests think

The Millwood draws strong praise for clean, modern rooms, friendly service, free parking, and convenient access to SFO, while several reviews note thin walls and street or airplane noise, plus inconsistent or limited airport shuttle and early check in fees.

Most guests find the renovated rooms comfortable with good showers, though a few mention small sizes and dated TVs or spotty Wi‑Fi. Breakfast is widely appreciated for value and variety, but some report basic or cold items and timing that misses very early departures. Expect a clean, convenient airport stay with a few trade‑offs around noise and policies.

They advertise on Expedia that they have airport shuttle service. When I arrived they told me that the service has not been operational for a while. Had to pay $20 to get from hotel to airport. The hotel should have made concessions for not delivering on what they advertised on Expedia.

If you are staying here because they have a Tesla charger don’t! They charge $20 to turn it on. Never have I been to a destination charger where the business chargers. This was the main reason I booked this hotel. Rooms were nice, very cold in room upon arrival. Breakfast was ok, coffee was hard to come by as they wouldn’t fill it quickly enough. Front desk lady was unhelpful almost rude asked us to park our Tesla somewhere else if we weren’t going to pay for charging! Stay somewhere else if you drive a Tesla or another EV.

Liked that the parking was free, however didn’t like the dingy smell of the room. Small selection in breakfast eggs, raw looking bacon, oatmeal, and steamed rice. Pictures made rooms look elegant and big however that was not the case refrigerator and AC weren’t working in our room and front desk worker went into our room to see the refrigerator and AC making us feel uncomfortable as we were laying in bed. Didn’t get resolved in the two days we were there. Definitely will not be returning. Wish they’d move us to a better room considering it wasn’t in optimal shape.

This is an older motel that has been refurbished and updated. It is run by a very sweet hard-working family that worked very hard to take care of our needs. They have a lovely breakfast, a small, but beautiful courtyard, and lovely flowers planted all around the motel too add to the ambience. The bedrooms were very clean and the beds were very comfortable. I would stay here again. For the price, I would stay here again.

Overall the hotel was good. I’m good condition. Had a great breakfast that was better than other hotels. Had a glass to separate the outside to the room and it was extra security. The rooms are up to date and clean. The internet was good but it would only let us hook up 2 devices at once. So one of us had do use our phone internet which was slow. I don’t know if that is policy or that might be something they need to look into. The only bad item we had was the tv quality. That have great cable service. But the tv was old flat screen and it made the picture look pixelated and bad quality.

I needed a place to stay overnight during a trip from Malaysia to Texas and the Millwood was perfect for it. It is located very close to SFO ($16 cab ride). The rooms are nicely renovated. They also have a shuttle bus that takes you to/from the airport for $7.95 each. Breakfast was included in the price and featured an extensive offering, from baked goods to cereals to make your own waffles, coffee/tea, yogurt, juice, etc.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We arrived and requested an early check in at the last minute and we were immediately accomodated! Although early check in/out is never a guarantee. Staff were polite and helpful. The included breakfast was very good and had a lot of different options. Our room was clean and lovely. The only issue we had was that there were children stomping around in the late evening, but this is in no way the management's fault. We will definitely be returning at a later date!

We arrived an hour before check in, so we took the chance to be able to check in rather than have to leave and come back. The receptionist said no problem you can check in but it's gonna cost you $25, I could understand this if the block we were staying in was still being cleaned but hit wasn't. Paid the fee and when we got to the room we notice the wi-fi was not working. Back up to front desk for assistance and basically given a phone number to call. Tried that he couldn't help and said he would call back, waited for over an hour still no call. Back up to reception and only after I pushed back did she agree to call the tech company. 3 hour later and after spending 30mins on the phone with their tech support did it finally work. If you need reliable wi-fi for business, children you might want to look elsewhere. You would have thought they would have waived the early $25 check in after all that, but no $$$ more important than guest satisfaction.

We had such a pleasant stay at the Millwood hotel. Miss Percy was so helpful and did extra for us when we asked for transport info (she took initiative to check on the prices for both taxi and Uber for us to make comparison). She was patient and provided excellent customer service. So was another elderly lady staff… equally kind and helpful. The room was clean and bed comfortable. The hotel is in a convenient location to get food (walking distance to Asian restaurants and fast food outlets and Joe Trader). Also it is near to SFO. We highly recommend the Millwood to all tourists.
