Rarely do people get excited about airport hotels, though there’s also no denying that there’s huge variance in terms of the quality of them.

@ Ben -- Me too! This hotel looks spectacular. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. Maybe they will offer some good deals in low season (whatever that is...).
Stayed at this amazing property two nights ago after Alaska cancelled my flight. Scored a runway view room on the 10th floor. Great view of the international A gates apron, but mostly only saw narrow bodies. Room comes with binoculars and a plane spotting guide for easy ID of aircraft. They even give the very first guest of a room a souvenir wooden "key card" showing you are the first guest ever of that room. Such a cool experience, and even better that Alaska picked up the room tab. Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch? 😛
I have had issues at the Hyatt Regency SFO where they insist on entering your room every 24 hours. I am glad to have an alternative through Hyatt when staying at SFO.
Very nice! I do love a great airport hotel like DFW or even BOS. I just remembered that I have a trip to SFO in January and need a hotel one night before picking up rent car next day...perfect choice. Although I once lived in SF for many years I usually avoid going into the city unless meeting friends. What a pleasant surprise and an upgrade from the dated Doubletree.
I have an overnight stay planned for just over $300, with tax just short of $350. I'm paying cash not worth using points..

Many hotels will enter your room daily as a matter of policy.
They want to know you're not up to anything sketchy.
@Tom -- "Many hotels will enter your room daily as a matter of policy. They want to know you’re not up to anything sketchy."
Yes ... especially after that Las Vegas Mandalay Bay mass shooting?
Re: Hyatt room check policy. I would expect that an airport hotel that overlooks the runways will likely have tighter security policies than the one away from the airport. It's about guns, drugs, and sex trafficking.
Love a great airport hotel. Had several very nice stays at Grand Hyatt DFW. Upgraded to a runway view large room every time. Quiet clean, comfortable and bell man walked our bags to our check in counter. A great airport hotel with great staff.
