Top Aquarium of the Bay Hotel Reviews

Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was put away early- should leave this out for purchase longer- also no fridge in the room unless you paid for it/ this should be included in all rooms"

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"It was a really nice place. We didn’t eat anything directly from the hotel but they did had all the things that were necessary, but the only thing that we were having trouble with the room temperature especially, at night it would get really really cold and the heater wasn’t working Other than that. It was a really great place. The staff was wonderful and we felt very safe and comfortable. "

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A very quiet stay. Front desk and housekeeping staff friendly and helpful. A great location from Powell Street Station. They provide discounts at some local restaurants - Al Pastor Papi (excellent!), Magnin Street Cafe and Bistro (popular! nice vibe, good service), and others. Difficult to regular room temperature. Gym small and mostly filled with ellipticals and treadmills but I was able to do my routine along with hill walking. "

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

6/10 Okay

"I reserved a premium room and paid extra for it. While the room was located on a top floor with a wonderful view, it was adjacent to the bank of elevators. Behind the headboard on the other side of the wall was a service elevator, which caused constant noise throughout the night, making it sound like planes were landing. The next morning, I approached the front desk to request a room change, as I still wanted a premium room but without the constant sound of moving elevators. However, my husband and I were assigned to a room with far less square footage than our previous one, and it wasn't a premium room, despite what the woman at the front desk had said. We were disappointed, and unfortunately, there was no adjustment made to my bill. Aside from this, we liked the location of the hotel and the breakfast was good."
