Top Ghirardelli Square Hotel Reviews

Argonaut Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location"

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"This is my go to hotel when I am in San Francisco. The rooms have everything I need and there is a restaurant/bar on the property, along with an exercise room."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff was great, rooms a little outdated, but clean. Parking was $40+ per day? But street parking is nearby and cheap (some places free)."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, staff was very helpful, I will stay again"

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Great location and the secured on-site parking was convenient. It was close to pier 39 and there were a few nice restaurants near by."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Location is great, hotel is clean and friendly, has a bar, many gathering spaces, and a cafe, and parking ( for a reasonable fee). Highly recommend."

Hotel Caza Fisherman´s Wharf

8/10 Good

"The entrance and bench out front was filthy with cigarettes everywhere and the coffee area was messy and trash laying around. The kids play area was not well kept at any given point. The room was fine, but very noisy. Sounded like the neighbors were coming into our room all night. The timer on the bathroom light could go without since it would time out while in the shower and no way to turn it back on. That was wildly annoying. Especially slipping when I got out. The pool was out of service which was a primary reason for this location. The parking fee not listed on reservations and insanely over priced!! Overall not very pleased"

San Remo Hotel

8/10 Good

"Cute but very small ... a bunk bed, bathroom& sink ... that's all! There was no dresser, no table, no ledge no chair, we had to put stuff in the sink to keep it off the floor. A bit loud in the morning due to construction taking place in our room was written near the coffee center. So it was loud as people were heating up their breakfasts and making their coffee. If you are in the far end of hall you probably wouldn't have heard any of that. Although the review sounds negative, it wasn't, it was very nice place. The people were friendly and it was really central to everything that we wanted to do period"

Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and clean hotel. Close t o fishermans wharf and dining. Friendly helpful staff . Parking on-site for additional fee."
