Top Buena Vista Hotel Reviews

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone and everything was amazing"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Les chambres sont propres et très bien. Mais le gros plus sont les buffets du déjeuners. Beaucoup de choix , beaucoup de fruits et il est inclus dans la chambre ! Le personnel est gentil. Ils offrent le service de bagages pour visiter si notre arrivée est avant 15:00"

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"I stay at the Club Quarters every time I visit San Francisco. It's reliably clean and has what I need for a restful stay. There are parking garages caddy-corner from the property if you feel worried about parking on the street overnight, and Chinatown and little Italy are short walks also. Check-in is a little awkward because there is a self-serve kiosk, but staff is there to check IDs, direct payment, and activate room keys. Each floor has refillable water bottles by the elevators and a closet full of emergency needs like toothbrushes, shower caps, sewing kits, etc. Consistency is key, and Club Quarters is a reliably good night's stay."

Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and professional. The location is excellent and made it easy to explore the city. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it."
