Top Bay Area Discovery Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Caza Fisherman´s Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"While the property itself is older, as most are in San Francisco, it was well updated and very nice. Beautiful lobby, and very clean. At check in the staff were welcoming and very accommodating of my disability. Once to the room we noticed how clean and fresh everything was. The beds were so comfortable and sheets and pillows were very soft. Staff brought a refrigerator to store my medication and we were off for a wonderful vacation. The hotel offers free cocktails as you check in and has coffee for your mornings. I typically do not like hotel ice/water but this was the first time that the taste was clean and fresh so we regularly filled our water bottles. The pool was undergoing maintenance so we couldn’t use that, but will next visit. The parking on site was perfect. They have security at the door and don’t even let in DoorDash, but rather they have a cart where you can pick up your order. We felt safe the entire time. The location could not have been better, especially as first time SF visitors. They even surprised me with a gift, balloons and card on my birthday!! I highly recommend Hotel Caza and will return because our stay was absolutely wonderful."
