Top California Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great location"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very spacious and very comfortable and very clean. Everybody was extremely helpful.. the breakfast in the morning was amazing. They have so many different selections.. comfortable beds and friendly staff with a clean environment-can’t ask for much more than that.. five minutes from Pier 39. It was a nice walk great area."

Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"The property is nice, clean, and an easy location. We loved the bunk bed suites for the kids. The breakfast was good too. The only downside was the walls were not very sound proof - we could hear everything from the rooms next to us. The kids late at night, very early in the mornings, and running back and forth. We have stayed at many hotels in the area and this was the loudest we have had."

Palm Mountain Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was so quaint. Very Clean. I was skeptical about staying here due to when you cons out of your room your outside, its not an indoor hallway but gow its decorated and how clean this hotel was made our experience wonderful. We didn't get a room with a personal balcony, but we're still able to enjoy the scenery 5 steps away from our door. Highly recommend this place. Food, bars and shops within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again"
