Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"It was super clean, the staff was really kind!"

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Affordable and in the perfect location to get to everything! Rooms are small and there are rooms with absolutely no view, the ones with the kitchenettes. I stayed a week and was overall happy. If i was staying for a few days, then i would pay for a more expensive hotel. Staff was fantastic!"

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

8/10 Good

"The room and bathroom was very nice and clean, but I was disappointed by the breakfast service. First, breakfast wasn't necessarily covered by by room cost and this needed to be clear. When I checked in, staff should have told me the status of breakfast, that I had to pay and that my hotel fee didn't cover it. In the morning when I asked where breakfast was, that staff should have verified that it was at an additional cost. There was no one at the entry of the buffet, and there should have been. There was no signage saying the buffet was not part of your room fee. I should not have been able to just walk into the buffet without knowing clearly it was an extra cost. I would have never spent $33 on that buffet otherwise. Food was not well-stocked, the fruit quality was low, the handles of the lids to the warm items were caked in food, coffee carafe was empty and the new full one was not marked. There were not enough options if you don't eat gluten or dairy. The other coffee station counter at the entry was filthy, covered in milk, coffee and sugar. And 2 out of 3 of those carafes were empty. The floor in the dining room had trash on the ground. The bacon was either under or overcooked. Overall the staff in the buffet were kind and helpful, but what I'm most upset about is the quality of the buffet for the price and again, that I felt tricked into it."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Very good deal for what your getting. Very spacious rooms for nice pricing, front desk and room service is always so sweet understanding and helpful, plenty refreshments in the lobby, great service, etc. P.S - TVs actually work with youtube netflix etc and wifi works well near plenty of great attraction to explore also"

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay here was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we loved how perfectly located the hotel was in downtown San Francisco. We were able to walk to so many great restaurants, and having the California Street cable car just a short walk away made exploring the city such a memorable experience. We also really appreciated having the option to park our car at the hotel. Some days we drove to attractions outside the city center, and other days we simply left the car parked and enjoyed walking everywhere. It gave us the best of both worlds. The room was spacious and comfortable, but the highlight was definitely the incredible view from the 17th floor. Looking out over the city each morning and seeing the lights at night made our stay feel extra special. We were also impressed by the six elevators—they were incredibly fast, so we never had to wait long to get to our room. This hotel truly made our trip to San Francisco even more enjoyable. Between the amazing location, beautiful views, spacious rooms, and convenient parking, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. We highly recommend it to anyone planning a visit to San Francisco!"
