Top Merritt Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful view, worth the money, and excellent location"

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

8/10 Good

"It really is a great property. We happened to stay during an unusually hot day in San Francisco. The rooms only have fans and no AC so on this particular stay, it was a bit to warm in the room to get a relaxing sleep experience . Other than that I would stay again for sure as long as the forecast is not calling for hot weather"

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

8/10 Good

"Great location for our overnight layover. Convenient shuttle to and from the airport. Room was clean and comfortable. We had two rooms reserved but could only complete contactless registration for one of the rooms. We were told it was because their system was down. Two of us went to breakfast because we saw the sign for the $13 continental buffet, wound up getting charged $67 because no one explained that half the buffet a more expensive option."

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."
