For out-of-town seminar speakers: The San Francisco (SFO) and San Jose (SJO) airports are both located nearby.  We recommend you reserve a ride with Super Shuttle or similar company instead of using a taxi from the airport.  (Super Shuttle is around $25+tip in comparison with $100+ for taxi.)  We generally arrange for our speakers to stay at either the Cardinal Hotel or Hotel California.  Safe Travels.
