Top Alcatraz Island Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"The manager was gracious and accommodating. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable bedding. Had a partial view of the bay, highly recommended. Easy to get a cab right in front of our hotel. Tons of walkable restaurants nearby."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

4/10 Poor

"The hotel resembles a cheap hostel with tiny dated rooms and bathrooms. Everything is run down. The carpet in my room was disgusting and dirty with mystery stains. The room was cramped. The bathroom hasn’t been updated in decades. The shower felt like a dorm room shower. The photos online made everything look much better than reality. I will say that the staff was friendly. The location was good, too. Everything else was like a cheap two star hotel, not a four star hotel. All of this for the price of a four star hotel. I would not recommend this hotel."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

6/10 Okay

"I find that this hotel missed the mark on quite a few things. Our room was not particularly clean and the bed "comforter" was paper thin like a sheet. The king room is very small, you may be better off having the two full sized beds to make the room bigger. Upon check in, there was someone at the elevator saying "out of service" and he pointed to the stairs (we had our luggage and were up on 4th floor). Then as we got over to the stairs, a guest came out of the elevator, which was apparently working fine. When we got to our room it was extremely hot and stuffy. Our A/C was not working and we called down to the front- they said someone would come up to assist and they never did. Needless to say, we went to dinner because we didnt want to wait. Really, you are paying for location and the outdoor courtyard, which is a fun place to hang out in the evening. The smo'res were a nice touch at check in."

Fairmont San Francisco

2/10 Terrible

"When I checked in the person presented me with a card that he said gave complimentary coffee in the coffee shop. It was actually a fee card which cost $450. I did not use the card and was credited the $450 but this employee is not giving the correct information when presenting these cards to guests as if they are a perk for staying at the Fairmont. "
