Top Balboa Park Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We didn’t get to spend much time at the property. However love the location. Everything was amazing. Chocolate chip cookies at checking in was a good touch."

Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place to stay with our daughter! She loved the pool, and the lobby restaurant had games and blocks that her and other kids loved, and had no issue with our dog there as well. Easy transit connections too, F street car was 2 blocks away, and 28 and 30 buses were right out front. Francisco Park (which has a playground and an incredible view) was a quick walk uphill, and some food and coffee options right around the hotel. Would highly recommend for families. Only downside was parking costs, but we ended up using SpotHero for parking at a garage a few blocks down."

Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport by IHG

6/10 Okay

"I stayed on the 9th floor and I had to work online and my phone was not connecting to the Internet. I went out to get something to eat. Upon my return, I tried with my laptop but with no success. I then called the front desk to explain the situation. She was saying something whilst I was still speaking. I stopped to inquire as to the nature of her interruption. She responded, "Finish your complaint so that I can explain to you what's happening." I said, "Okay, what's happening?" She replied, "Are you finished, Sir?" I was baffled because I was not being rude to her at all. She explained that for the last two nights, the Internet crashed and they are working on it. So only the lobby to the 2nd floor has service. So I can come down to the lobby to use the service. I asked her why wasn't that explained when I checked in. I could have been given a room on the 2bd floor. She said that my IHG gives my top floor access. Go figure. No apology was offered. I went downstairs and was placed in a room with many other guests using the room. No discount offered. Nothing. The shower and toilet bowl were very slow in water disposal. I was disappointed but left there without making a scene. Crowne Plaza SFO must be more courteous in situations like these as issues will happen from time to time I'm not being unreasonable."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

6/10 Okay

"Hotel was clean and well cared for, air conditioning unit is size of a washing machine and sounds like an aircraft in the room with varying temperature through the night. Location is good if you want really touristy area. A long queue for checkin and breakfast like a school canteen. It’s okay but wouldn’t stay here again"
