Hyatt Regency San Francisco

"NO SO MANY EATING OPTIONS"

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"Very cool hotel. Rooms were nice and staff very friendly. Bartender makes a great manhattan!"

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was not included in the package this is not in tune with some other Hilton hotels of other cities."

The Pickwick Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment I stepped into the hotel lobby until the day I checked out, I felt welcomed and well taken care of by the staff. The hotel has a charming atmosphere, and the service was exceptional, especially from the front desk and guest services teams. Everyone was so attentive and welcoming! While you’re at the Pickwick hotel, don’t forget to check out the nearby restaurants, including SOMA Restaurant & Bar and Zevi Cafe. I had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back! ☺️"

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our time at the hotel. The room was exceptionally clean, the view was stunning, and every interaction with the staff was quick, helpful, and efficient. The parking was also a big plus — very convenient, easy to access, and we felt that the car was safe there. We didn’t have a chance to use the pool or try the breakfast because we already had other plans, but we definitely hope to enjoy both next time. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily recommend this hotel to others. We’ll definitely be back!"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Estuvo muy agradable mi estanco, sin duda me volvería a hospedar ahí, solamente una cosa que el baño de la habitación en que me quedé sentí que estaba algo chico, aunque se agradece que estuvieran el lavamanos afuera del baño"

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

8/10 Good

"Great location and nice lobby. Unfortunately, the lobby bar is closed on Sundays. Rooms are fairly nice and the lack of air conditioning is rarely an issue. Outlets near the bed are awkward to reach (near the floor) but there is a nice power strip on the desk. Chain pull to control fan was not working, so I had to turn the light/fan off to turn off the fan."

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Love the Marina Inn. Sure the property is older (built in 1984) but the location, view, sunsets, room size, nice staff and two restaurants within 3-5 minutes walk make this hotel perfect. The freeway is only a mile away to head to wine country, Oakland, San Fran or San Jose. I will stay here next trip to the Bay Area!"
