Top Lost Valley Hotel Reviews

Stanford Court San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and location"

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in this hotel to stay in a different are of SF and away from the tourist trap of Union Square. The location on Van Ness is great, it is walking distance to many restaurants, and super easy bus ride to China Town and Union Square if you feel you need to visit ( Buses 1 and 2). I would definitely stay here on my next trip to SF."

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance of several attractions and Bart transport from SFO. However, it is dated and needs some upgrades. The outer window didn't close so we could hear lots of noise from the street. And from the adjoining room. But it was clean. Staff was helpful and we were able to leave our bags after checkout to go explore."
