Top Downtown San Francisco Hotel Reviews

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location is very desirable. Our room was in the original tower but very functional and clean. All staff was very friendly and helpful. We used the valet parking and felt the car was safe and secure during our stay. We would stay again."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

4/10 Poor

"The hotel resembles a cheap hostel with tiny dated rooms and bathrooms. Everything is run down. The carpet in my room was disgusting and dirty with mystery stains. The room was cramped. The bathroom hasn’t been updated in decades. The shower felt like a dorm room shower. The photos online made everything look much better than reality. I will say that the staff was friendly. The location was good, too. Everything else was like a cheap two star hotel, not a four star hotel. All of this for the price of a four star hotel. I would not recommend this hotel."

Fairmont San Francisco

2/10 Terrible

"When I checked in the person presented me with a card that he said gave complimentary coffee in the coffee shop. It was actually a fee card which cost $450. I did not use the card and was credited the $450 but this employee is not giving the correct information when presenting these cards to guests as if they are a perk for staying at the Fairmont. "

Grand Hyatt San Francisco

6/10 Okay

"The hotel itself was comfortable and the staff were pleasant, but the parking situation was extremely frustrating and should be communicated much more clearly to guests. The hotel does not have onsite parking. Their designated self-parking garage is located around the corner and across the street, which is particularly difficult to access because of San Francisco's many one-way streets. If you're unfamiliar with the area, finding the garage can be confusing and stressful. As a result, many guests may end up using valet parking simply because it's the easier option. In our case, that meant paying about $90 per day plus tip and extra $40 when you checkout for resort fee or whatever, on top of the additional parking fees and the more than $300 per night we had already paid through Expedia. What disappointed me most was the lack of clear instructions provided at the time of booking. The hotel should explicitly explain where the parking structure is located and provide directions before guests arrive. Had we known exactly how to access the garage, we could have avoided the expensive valet charges. Overall, the stay was fine, but the parking experience left a negative impression and is something future guests should be aware of."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Dated , dirty , focused on monetization and not on guest experience. But this may be the trend in union square, all these places are old and maintained enough to keep going. I think for more luxurious , guest oriented experience , there are other areas of San Francisco , but are pricier as expected. So I guess for the money this place wasn’t horrible."
