Top Lakeshore Hotel Reviews

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Property was clean and comfortable. Would have been nice to get complimentary breakfast each day. Additionally I had ordered a fruit platter ahead of time but it never arrived. Overall the location was great"

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was prohibitively expensive. The $13 option was just a couple of pastries (no hot breakfast). Hot breakfast was $31 per person each day and was nothing spectacular: only added fried rice to the typical eggs and sausage/bacon. The food items were good quality, though a bit bland."

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay overall. The view from the hotel was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of our visit. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made our stay very enjoyable. The only areas that could use some improvement were the lobby, which could have been a bit cleaner during our stay, and the parking. It was inconvenient to have to pay an additional fee to park at the same hotel, especially as a guest. Overall, we had a positive experience and would consider staying here again. With a little more attention to the lobby’s cleanliness and a more guest-friendly parking policy, this hotel would be excellent."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"No free breakfast, but a nice restaurant next door open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Parking is offered for a price, but no valet until you get to the garage which is a block away, uphill. Staff was very nice and helpful. Rooms are small but very clean and have a vintage vibe which was exactly what we like."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Lakeshore?

The best time to visit Lakeshore is during the summer months, from June to September, for warm weather and full access to outdoor activities.

During this period, the weather is consistently pleasant, with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C, making it ideal for enjoying the lake. All the local businesses and attractions are fully operational, offering a wide range of water sports, hiking trails, and scenic excursions. For families, this is an excellent time as children are out of school, and the lake provides plenty of entertainment options, from swimming and boating to fishing and picnics by the shore.

For those looking for a slightly quieter experience with comfortable temperatures and beautiful autumn colours, late September to October can also be a good choice. While some services might begin to wind down towards the end of October, the crowds are smaller, and the natural scenery is particularly striking.
