Top Academy of Art University Hotel Reviews

King George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great room and close to a lot of things"

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Small but clean and adequate for an overnight stay. Would’ve liked a refrigerator in the room. Tv streaming kept cutting out and the water bottle refill station had a tiny stream and took 10 minutes to fill a water bottle. But those were minor inconveniences. Clean and great location."

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff was extremely pleasant. Checking in was very easy. Room was clean and good for a short stay if you have business in the area. There’s plenty of stores and food within walking distance."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great staff. Paid parking. Paid breakfast. Not worth paying extra for a better view. Walking distance to the Cable Car, great food and shopping and the Bay."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and helpful staff. We stayed in the ‘Premier’ area of the hotel, and whilst the lift and corridors look a little tired on this side of the hotel, our room itself was lovely. Very spacious and comfortable. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great little pool and gym area. There’s a bar area at the back of the hotel which didn’t seem to be in use, which is a shame as it looked lovely, and a perfect place to unwind with a cold drink at the end of a long day exploring this gorgeous city. Would definitely recommend"

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It location was great."

InterContinental San Francisco by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice"

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"If I could give the staff 10 stars, I would. They all did little things to make our stay special. The location was great and the room was a good value. We would stay here again!"

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Front staff who assisted check-in was quite helpful with niche situation. He was kind, and performed his job above and beyond. Mattress in my room seemed brand new and all the sheets were clean. There was everything provided you would need other than a sewing kit or toothbrush & showercap but honestly, i didnt need those."
