Top Kimball Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel. Would return."

Hotel Kabuki, part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"We always go to Japan town and park at japan parking garage. It’s so convenient to the hotel. It’s our first time to book at kabuki. But we always stay in other areas in San Francisco. This is a neat Hotel. We love its uniqueness. Lonely thing that we experience is that we book for a two double bed but when we were checking in, they only gave us one king bed for three people. They gave us a rollaway bed though overall it was a good experience, but basically we don’t really stay at the hotel most of the time we were out for the graduation celebration of our son."

Stanyan Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed in one of the suites for a few days. The staffs were very helpful and friendly. Rooms are clean, but the building, walls, doors, windows and carpet need some upgrades. The hotel is in a great location where you can walk safely to parks, stores and restaurants. The free breakfast and wines hour were great."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Dated , dirty , focused on monetization and not on guest experience. But this may be the trend in union square, all these places are old and maintained enough to keep going. I think for more luxurious , guest oriented experience , there are other areas of San Francisco , but are pricier as expected. So I guess for the money this place wasn’t horrible."

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Geary Parkway Motel was a solid experience. The staff was fantastic—Vijay handled our check-in and check-out, making the whole process an absolute breeze. He was welcoming, efficient, and set a great tone for the trip. The room itself was exceptionally clean, and the bed and pillows were super comfy. It was the perfect place to crash after a long day of exploring. My only real heads-up is that our room faced the street, so it did get noisy with traffic at times. If you're a light sleeper, I'd suggest grabbing some earplugs or requesting a room away from the street. Overall, it's a great, comfortable spot in SF with excellent service. We would definitely stay here again! great location ....close enough to Golden gate park too"
