Top Balboa Park Hotel Reviews

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The room was nice and well-kept, but the pipe upstairs was very loud whenever anyone took a shower at night. Not many food choices for the complementary breakfast but overall not a bad stay."

The Marker Union Square San Francisco

4/10 Poor

"The hotel has a very awesome staff. The neighborhood its surrounded its one of the major downsize. Its a rough neighborhood alot of homeless and human bio waste surround the side walks. The room was ok alot of damages found but not the staff fault seems more of the higher ups to maintain or allocate the resources to repair the rooms. Not a contemporary style hotel has a very old retro feel. But sure had an awesome staff but my partner didnt feel safe with the surroundings so we ended up booking another place and just ate my losses to make up for booking a room in a rough area. By the way parking will cost you alot in this area not recommended with someone with a car or rental. But like I said awesome staff and the room service is only available during certain times for food just an fyi. So beware of that if you need to go to the store or walk somewhere to eat."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"I was skeptical at first at the price being low for San Francisco, but the reviews were great. We absolutely LOVED this gem of a hotel! The room was super clean, the beds were very comfortable, and there was even a pillow menu! The staff was friendly, the coffee was delicious, and there were delicious looking fresh baked cookies available. I only wish they had gluten free cookies. I highly recommend this gem of a hotel. The location at Union Square is nice especially with the cable car right out front! Ican't wait to come back!"

Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. The shower pressure is very low, and the sink looked like it had a big crack. Overall, it was a great room. It did lack the usual stuff you see in other hotels, like a coffee maker. Overall, we stay here a lot because of its convenience. It is a big property with very convenient parking in the garage below. You can walk around the area and run into so many great sights."
