Top Half Moon Bay Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"San Francisco is one of the most expensive hotel cities the world...$250 for a single night on a Sunday for Bay to Breakers. Its normally a little cheaper than on any other weekend, but not much. But I will have to say, the premises and room were pristine and in top notch condition. Everything seemed brand new and the beds were dream to sleep upon...though I was pretty drunk by the time I got to it, so my judgement might be off. Location is perfect for a real local taste of San Francisco. Polk street and its cross streets are packed with funky bars. Van Ness has my favorite SF meaty eatery of all time: Tommy's Joynt. Though if you're a pure tourist in the city, its not the most central location of sight seeing."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

6/10 Okay

"Bathroom was so small. Shower tub also tight. Walls were paper thin on the second floor where we had our room. Could hear everything. Breakfast was strong for buffet options. No restaurant for lunch/supper, although there was a shop n go mini store. Overall, not my cup of tea, would not return."

The Marker Union Square San Francisco

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay but couldn’t seem to get the towel situation right until the last 2 days. There were 2 adults but only had one face towel, 2 hand towels and 2 bath towels. Even after requesting or going to get more, after the room was cleaned we will still end up with the same original amount, so had to request more at least 3 times during the visit. Other than that the stay was great. Good location, close to so many things"

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

6/10 Okay

"My room had a strong smoke smell I asked the front desk if it was a nonsmoking room they said yes it was and if they could give us other room i was willing to pay the difference in price for a upgrade they said they couldn’t move us to other room because they were booked. We went to buy all kind of stuff to make it smell better and we air the room all the time it wasn’t pleasant. Also the jacuzzi it wasn’t working and the pool was no well maintained there were ducks swimming in it and duck poop at the bottom."
