Top Foster City Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, but didn't really have a view. The location was perfect for walking to Pier 39, China Town, etc. This more than made up for the lack of a 24 hour coffee/tea/water bar that we have been accustomed to in all of our travel from Peru to Egypt."

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

8/10 Good

"The hotel is right on the bay, so it's has a nice ocean-front feel. The staff is very nice and helpful. It is important to know that the shuttle goes to the Oakland Airport. (Not their fault, but I misread that and had to make some adjustments to get to and from SFO.)"

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here before and had a great experience. This time our first room had a smoke smell to it so I went back to the front desk and they immediately switched our room, no questions asked. I was very appreciative since we didn’t want our clothes to smell as we went out. The rooms are great! Clean, good amenities, and beautiful views! The location is walkable and close to a great little bakery. Parking is one of the cheaper in SF and is very secure, you have to key in and out of the gate."
