Top Palace of Fine Arts Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was very very good."

Comfort Inn by the Bay

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was good just not enough tables."

Signature Inn San Francisco Marina District

8/10 Good

"The room that I’ve used was pretty clean and the time spent was nice, nothing outstanding but is satisfactory. There are some areas that have noticeable damage—floors, mirror, and wall—but the areas are marked so it well not effect the security deposit. Parking is a little limited and tight, but the parking is within the inn, which makes it convenient. We didn’t visit the shops nearby but the inn is near the Palace of Fine Arts, which would be nice to visit if spare time would allow. The staff that helped is super nice and helpful."
