Top Southwest Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and well kept, the staff were delightful as well. The breakfast was excellent and had a variety of options. The restaurant was excellent as well."

The Marker Union Square San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"The Marker is a nice retreat a couple of blocks off of Union Square. It's a short walk down to Market for Muni rides or over to Powell to catch the cable car. The room was well appointed with a comfortable bed and pillows. I appreciated the water bottles in the room that the staff refreshed daily as I used them. Water pressure in the shower was excellent. The library in the lobby was a nice place to hang out for a bit rather than sitting in the room. Not to detract from a free perk, but the complimentary coffee manged to taste watered down but burnt at the same time. After dumping that out I bought a $9 12oz latte at Tratto that was also underwhelming. After that, I went elsewhere for breakfast. Overall, I would happily stay here again."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

8/10 Good

"I had some difficulties getting my room. I had reserved in May and it took the hotel until six o'clock to get it resolved. It would be worse if I hadn't run into friends staying there at the same time. The hotel manager did comp me the breakfast buffet as consolation for the lengthy check-in so I am grateful. Another complaint I had was the hotel had HBO channels locked for some reason. Every time I tried watching thrm, it brought up a Direct TV notice. I am not sure if there was this was meant to be an upgrade or something, but I've stayed at other hotels in the area before and they've freely provided premium channels, it was just unusual for the stay. I only really watched TV for the first night of my stay so it's not that bad. Otherwise, I did like the hotel and its amenities. I did love taking a bath again and the faucet was made for either bath or shower. Makeup mirror came in handy for before venturing out on the big day and the AV setup of the TV, while not used, was appreciated. I will stay again, just hoping they make improvements on the check-in process."
