YOTEL San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"All wa perfect "

Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean, and the staff were helpful—almost everyone was exceptionally friendly. The room was spacious, and although the pool area was small, it offered plenty of seating, including a few cabanas. The heated pool was especially appreciated given the cold weather. Our room didn’t include an ironing board like the second room we reserved but we didn’t end up needing it, and I’m sure it would have been provided if requested. The lobby also features several games, which are a nice touch for passing the time."

Travelodge by Wyndham San Francisco Airport North

8/10 Good

"Front desk staff was not personable and will not go out of their way for you. The room is basic and served its purpose of spending a night before an early morning flight. The room was right next to the highway, so I had whizzing highway traffic noise combined with airplanes taking off. I absolutely recommend earplugs. "
