Top Chinatown Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Was a great experience the beginning to end. Thank You"

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"The room & bathroom were all clean & very comfortable. I booked a Bay View room & the view was beautiful! I could watch planes going into the airport but there was no noise in my room from them. There's a nice restaurant behind the hotel & a walking trail with wonderful scenery. You could also see San Francisco across the bay. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioner kept the room cool enough. I enjoyed sitting in the desk chair at the window to watch activities in the Bay, which included someone sailboarding & a few boats. The staff was friendly & check-in/check-out was smooth. There is a bar with limited hours to order food, which is why I chose to go to the restaurant nearby. I did get to watch one of the World Cup games in the bar with other guests. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the San Francisco area."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

10/10 Excellent

"The property is a bit older. But you can't beat the views! The housekeeping staff were exceptional. The gym was good enough. Indoor pool looked well taken care of. There is a good little coffee kiosk in walking distance. I will stay here again."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This review is overdue. But I want to tell the hotel staff from the valet crew to security. They're are the nicest people. We were there for one night, heading to a cruise. My friend's father became extremely ill. The care and kindness from each individual proves that good people still exist. Thank you again! RP"
