Top California Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Los Angeles International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, but parking could’ve been better. To only have valet parking is insane."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"The room was really nice. We were on the 11th floor facing the water. We sat out on the terrace and watched people on the boardwalk and watched the planes take off and leave. The only complaint i had was that we ciuld feel the floor shaking a little. Rhe carpet in the hallway needed to be stretched because it had loose spots. Everytgibg else was good. It is walkinf distance from rhe USS midway museum. Thr hotel was a little hard to figure out where to park your car. We pulled in behid the hotel and tgeb went inside. If we would have pulled around by tge boardwalk, we would have gotten in easier. The Claim jumper restaurant was ok. We sat forever outside waiting for out server to get us water. Food took forever too. All we got waa hambugers. Food was good. For breakfast we went across to the Pier and ate a good breakfaat sandwich for $8."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Golden Gate Hotel made our San Francisco trip even more memorable. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable. The hotel’s historic charm gave us a true San Francisco experience, and it was the perfect home base after our days of exploring the city. The location was one of our favorite things about the hotel. We loved being in Nob Hill, a beautiful and quieter area away from some of the busier, more touristy parts of San Francisco, while still being close enough to easily enjoy everything the city has to offer. We were able to walk around the neighborhood, ride the famous cable cars, visit Alcatraz, explore Fisherman’s Wharf, and see so many of the iconic sights we came to experience. After full days of adventure, it was nice to return to a peaceful and cozy hotel with so much character. The historic details and welcoming atmosphere made it feel like we were staying somewhere special, not just another hotel. The staff was kind and helpful, adding to the personal feel of our stay. San Francisco was a trip we will always remember, and the Golden Gate Hotel was the perfect place to experience the city. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, unique, and well-located hotel with a true San Francisco feel."
