Top Kimball Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Golden Gate Hotel made our San Francisco trip even more memorable. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable. The hotel’s historic charm gave us a true San Francisco experience, and it was the perfect home base after our days of exploring the city. The location was one of our favorite things about the hotel. We loved being in Nob Hill, a beautiful and quieter area away from some of the busier, more touristy parts of San Francisco, while still being close enough to easily enjoy everything the city has to offer. We were able to walk around the neighborhood, ride the famous cable cars, visit Alcatraz, explore Fisherman’s Wharf, and see so many of the iconic sights we came to experience. After full days of adventure, it was nice to return to a peaceful and cozy hotel with so much character. The historic details and welcoming atmosphere made it feel like we were staying somewhere special, not just another hotel. The staff was kind and helpful, adding to the personal feel of our stay. San Francisco was a trip we will always remember, and the Golden Gate Hotel was the perfect place to experience the city. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, unique, and well-located hotel with a true San Francisco feel."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the old school-hotel vibe. The free cookies out front elevated the check-in experience right off the bat. I wish I would have taken advantage of the pillow ordering service, the default pillows and bed were amazing regardless. The bath salts and rubber ducky in the bathroom was an excellent touch. Make sure to take your ducky with you to remember your trip and stay (it's meant to be taken as a souvenir, we checked!). Would book again"

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great place for our family of three this weekend! I really appreciated that there was no issue checking in a little early and they were very accommodating and welcoming. The room was spotless and very comfortable. Will absolutely stay again the next time we are in town!"

Absolutely Private President's Suite, Computer, Wi-Fi, Laundry, Pub. Parking

8/10 Good

"This property is like visiting your mom's house out of town! It's not bougie or upscale, it's a home. It's old sf and has lots of character. If that's what you're looking for, you'll love it. It's in a great location. The house has everything you need and more. We forgot a couple things and we're happy to see them in the house. We did use the kitchen and it saved us some $. I will say some of the decorations and furniture are not kid friendly so if you have rambunctious kids you may want to skip it. We also assumed the 2 bedrooms were separate from the living room so note that they are not however we fit comfortably with our family of 4. Any more would be uncomfortable as the kitchen and bathroom are tight. Over all would stay again if it was just my husband and I. Parking is on the street but not too busy even on July 4th weekend. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. The downstairs neighbor was very nice we only chatted with him once while he was in his garden didn't see him again. The outdoor area could use some TLC because it's beautiful and the selling point of this house imo."
