An outdoor patio with wicker furniture, a fire feature, and string lights.

Oaktown Roost

Downtown Oakland

10/10 Excellent

We had a fantastic stay at Oaktown Roost. Our hallway king room was very spacious, very comfortable, and spotless. The rooftop/courtyard between rooms was a thoughtful touch—it added privacy and made for a perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and they had a gated parking lot. The location was ideal—close to bart and the Fox Theater. It was a great experience all around. Would definitely return.

It was right off the freeway. Very nice. Friendly staff. The room was large with a large bathroom and soaking tub private separate toilet. Large closet with a safe Fridge with microwave. Coffee maker had the pods. Balcony was overlooking water very nice quiet and relaxing view. All in all very good. The price was 170 well worth it compared to a 110 downtown Oakland and almost forgot free parking and no homeless around. Thank you Best Western and staff.

LUMA Hotel San Francisco

Downtown San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

Exceptional hotel. Primarily, the staff was professional and courteous with personality. Ricky was outstanding at check-in, Giselle was enjoyable at the wine bar, and Kevin was kind at check-out. The room was quiet and very well designed. Little details in the design were smart and made it super comfortable. Love the blackout shades and the shade in the “window” of the bathroom. Nice to have a foot bar in the shower. There were no plastic bags in the garbages. Loved the floor material. Super...

Galleria Park Hotel

Downtown San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

Their guest service is a 20/10. I called earlier in the week to ask about arriving early and parking. They were gracious and accommodating, saying we could check into our room if it was ready when we arrived. On arrival, the doorman (shamefully I didn’t get his name) was welcoming, friendly and efficient. I had injured my knee a couple of days earlier and was on crutches and he did everything he could to help me. At the front desk, Jared and Dominique were warm, welcoming, professional and...

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

Union Square

10/10 Excellent

My stay was fantastic. The only negative thing I experienced was that they removed the US flag from its place of honor at the peak of their hotel in order to fly a pride flag in its place. As a veteran whos friends gave their lives for the US and whos coffins were draped with that flag, this was intolerable. There were plenty other places they could and did fly the pride flag. It should never fly in lieu of the Stars and Stripes.

Chase

A hotel room with a sofa, armchair, and a bed. There is a view of the city through the window.
