Top Cable Car Museum Hotel Reviews

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The bathroom light was hard tofind"

Stanford Court San Francisco

8/10 Good

"The staff were so friendly and helpful, couldn’t do enough for you. The bar area is great, the rooms are comfortable and spacious. Location is right at the top of the steep hill at California St but the cable car stop is also there. The only reason I haven’t given it a 5* is the breakfast could be improved. You have to hand in a breakfast buffet voucher (pay extra for à la carte) and you are handed a plate (v old and scratched). Options are limited and no table service. You have to make your own tea in a paper cup. That doesn’t make it a luxury hotel in my view."

Club Quarters Hotel Embarcadero, San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Gets the job done. Small room but enough to lay your head. Clean. Cleaning staff did good job ensuring clean sheets and towels daily, which was great."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay. Perfect location. Rooms were great, staff was friendly. Loved the little store, Perfect for grabbing a snack or coffee."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in an excellent location just a few steps from Union Square, the cable car stop, and the BART train station, not to mention all the clothing stores and food options around it. The room was clean and very comfortable with a refrigerator inside, and I really liked the free cookies, apples, and water in the lobby. However, the service from the lobby staff could be improved, as they misplaced my small suitcase and only found it after checking three times. Management should improve staff training so they follow protocols and do not affect customers. I would stay at the hotel again, but I would be careful with the lobby staff."

InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very beautiful property. Staff was great!"

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Was a quick one night. I arrived at 5pm and left at 8am. The sushi restaurant was good, I didn’t use the pool or gym or anything else. The room was nice and clean."
