Top Buena Vista Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I loved everything about this hotel. Not one bad thing to say. Staff, housekeeping, restaurants, gym, were all great. Will definitely go back. Only thing bad was the nightly sirens outside but that has nothing to do with the hotel."

Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"i absolutely loved staying here. every aspect of the experience was amazing. The staff was so attentive and kind. The rooms were clean and comfy. The breakfast was really good! The outside patios were THE spot to relax after a long day of walking. If you wondering on whether this hotel is worth the stay, trust me it is."

The Marker Union Square San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"The Marker is a nice retreat a couple of blocks off of Union Square. It's a short walk down to Market for Muni rides or over to Powell to catch the cable car. The room was well appointed with a comfortable bed and pillows. I appreciated the water bottles in the room that the staff refreshed daily as I used them. Water pressure in the shower was excellent. The library in the lobby was a nice place to hang out for a bit rather than sitting in the room. Not to detract from a free perk, but the complimentary coffee manged to taste watered down but burnt at the same time. After dumping that out I bought a $9 12oz latte at Tratto that was also underwhelming. After that, I went elsewhere for breakfast. Overall, I would happily stay here again."
