Top Portola Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"It wasn’t super new or nice but it was a solid stay. The staff were helpful. The process was easy."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel with very professional staff. The amenities in the room are excellent and the decor is very well done and very well maintained. Everyone is helpful and extremely courteous. I would always stay here when in San Francisco."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

8/10 Good

"For the price, the room and hotel were great. They should try providing slightly more inexpensive amenities/ nicer touches, which I believe would go a long way. Cleaning service unfortunately did not visit when they were supposed to. Great choice for a short weekend stay. If staying longer, I’d stretch your budget for something a little nicer."
