Top Civic Center Plaza Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Good spot clean room"

The Marker Union Square San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Just hate the fact i had to pay for overnight parking"

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Well-maintained, spacious room and bath in a location conveniently near muni station, Starbucks and a Target. Michelin Thai restaurant located on the same floor as registration."

The Phoenix Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was very nice. Hotel was sort of a funky fresh vibe. There are a lot of homeless in the area outside of the hotel. Don’t confuse older with dirty. It is an older place. Wish they would open the attached restaurant and bar!! I was a little apprehensive when we drove up, but it was safe, clean, and vintage! The atrium is cool and everything is gated and you must pass staff or use your key to enter the parking lot. Talked to one of the maids who said she had been there for years and it was a great place."

Embassy Hotel

8/10 Good

"Big clean room, dated but ok. Good location for catching BART, Muni, or hop on hop off bus at civic centre a short walk away. Staff friendly. Surrounding streets ok during the day but not sure if I’d want to be out later at night. Handy little cafe next door for breakfast. Would stop again."

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"This is a clean and well managed property. We had a nice view of San Francisco"

BEI San Francisco, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay"

Hotel EPIK

10/10 Excellent

"I would say this was pretty much as advertised, and a good value for a place to stay with easy access to the Bill Graham auditorium for a show. I would stay there again. That part of town is undeniably sketchy, certainly not the fault of the hotel, should know that before you reserve. Nobody bothered me and the walk to the Civic Center was fine."
