7/10 Good! (428 reviews)
Hotel EPIK is a great spot for a quick overnight in San Francisco. There are two parking spots to unload your stuff on a one-way street around the corner from the entrance. Unfortunately, our room was not available until 4:30 - an hour and a half after it was supposed to be ready. After a three-hour drive and we were late for an event, it wasn't the best experience. The neighborhood isn't great, but it's a city and that's the way it goes.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (431 reviews)
I really enjoyed my stay at 1 Hotel San Francisco. The property is chic, stylish, and perfectly located close to the water with STK conveniently right across the street. The hotel feels thoughtfully designed, ergonomically friendly, and incredibly comfortable. One of the best parts for me was how pet-friendly it is—without any extra charges or hidden fees. They even provided my puppy with a cozy bed and dishes, which was such a thoughtful touch. While it is definitely on the pricier side, the experience is absolutely worth it—I would definitely stay here again with no hesitation.

Went on a weekend trip with my mom for her birthday. The hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was cozy, clean and comfortable.

"Monterey Hotel is in a perfect location right near the Fisherman’s wharf, and on a Main Street. It is a very safe location. There’s two sides, the historic side and the more updated side. Unfortunately it was a full house and we were on the historic side which just could use a bit sprucing up. The ..."
