Handlery Union Square Hotel

6/10 Okay

"We booked this hotel because of the pool but it was out of order for our stay. The rooms were cramped. AC didn’t work. Would not recommend "

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

6/10 Okay

"I stayed here on an Anniversary trip. The hotel itself is cute! There is however, room for improvement. Everything needs a deep cleaning, carpet needs to be removed, outlets need to be checked on a regular. If you’re going to offer a voucher for “free breakfast”, at least offer more than three meal options. Also, the website states two s’mores per visit. They claim that is what you receive in the one package that they give you (although they did offer another one). I also believe the hotel has water damage issues that they should be tending to right away. Other than those issues, the hotel is nice and have wonderful potential. "

Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Maria at the front desk was very helpful, smiling and gave us a quieter room facing the courtyard. Hotel may look outdated from outside but well renovated inside. Rooms and common spaces were clean. Plenty of under and overground parking. Walking distance to shops, pier and restaurants. Arcades, games, vending machines, water station etc are also a plus."

Embassy Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"location is convenient but not in a safe area. walls are really thin, can hear everything from the next door room. called front desk about noise complaint, they did nothing. amenities are really old, carpet smells. NO AC. radiator heater seems to go off automatically but cannot be adjusted in room. keys to enter room would frequently not work and had to go to the front desk multiple times to fix . overall would not stay again, doable for maybe one night only though. "
