Both Airport Express and Go Lorries charge $18 per person to travel from the airport to our hotel, and leave from SFO every 30 minutes. Taxis and private cars cost about $50 to $65. There’s also the BART train, which only costs $8.65 per person and leaves directly from the airport. The closest station is Powell Street, which is about six blocks away from us (about a ten minute walk). Thank you, Beresford Reservations
