Hotel Caza

8/10 Good

"Loved the game room in the lobby. Great family friendly hotel."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"My husband an I took a small getaway trip to San Francisco for his birthday and we could not have been more pleased with our stay at Hotel Zephyr! From the moment you walked in the door, the staff were helpful and provided us with discounts for food while staying on Pier 39. This location was super convenient for Fishermans Wharf, Pier 39 and it was only a 5 minute walk from the Alcatraz ferry terminal. The room was clean and they had games and fireplaces to hangout downstairs with your friends and family. We will consider staying here again if we return to San Francisco in the future :)"

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great little spot in a nice part of town. Felt safe, rooms were small but clean, and staff was very helpful and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again. Loved that they had refillable water bottles with purified water. Definitely a bonus as we didn’t have to go out and buy water."

Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 5 days. Staff - friendly and accommodating from the check in desk to parking attendants, housekeepers and restaurant employees. Room - adequate size, comfortable bed, good lighting, appreciate the little shelf next to the bed for your phone and the motion sensor lighting when getting up in the dark without disturbing the others Housekeeping - top notch! Room was kept clean and supplies replenished daily. Restaurant- good food, price as expected in San Francisco. They all pitched in when short staffed, even the bar tender waited on tables when needed. Loved the team work Parking attendants- always greets you with a smile, knows the area and can give you good tips on where to eat and what to do Facilities - used the gym and laundry. Worked well! Did not use the pool or hot tub but there were always people there Location - centrally located in Fisherman’s Wharf. A couple of blocks from pier 39 and all the action but quiet for your rest at night. Quirks - there is only one elevator in the level of the check in desk so the line can be long at times. You would have to take the stairs to the lower level ( referred to as the lobby) in order to access all 4 elevators. It makes it harder if you have luggage. There is an escalator but it was not working the whole time we were there. Overall, a great stay, thank you and kudos to the team! Keep up the good work 😊"
