Inn at Oyster Point near San Francisco Airport Updates Its Look

Step aside, notoriously utilitarian airport hotels. The bar has just been raised. The Inn at Oyster Point near San Francisco International Airport (SFO) offers waterfront accommodation in a resort-like setting, complete with beach. If you arrive by bay, there’s even a slip in the marina out front to park your boat.  The Inn recently completed a renovation with designer interiors and original art.

“We want to attract a younger, frequent business traveler who enjoys staying in a hotel with a sense of style and personality,” said Kristen Phillips, Director of Operations for Waterford Hotels and Inns, the management company for the Inn.

As South San Francisco’s most recent hotel remodel, the 20-year-old Inn at Oyster Point began its face lift in early 2010. The 30-room hotel was made over by the Andrew Alford Design Studio and inspired by interior designer of the 1940-‘50s, Dorothy Draper.
