Top Exploratorium Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Excellent breakfast. Rooms clean and comfortable. Friendly staff."

The Jay, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"I came to SF for my 40th birthday for the first time and chose the Jay as it seemed stylish, well situated, and had amenities I was looking for. It didn’t disappoint. We found the bed very comfortable, they had daily housekeeping which is very rare these days, room service (also rare), a shower where there’s an actual door that closes, and a lovely hotel restaurant and lounge/cafe area which we used often to do some reading! Also, the hotel is near lots of public transportation which we used quite a bit. I loved SF and hopefully will be returning and I will absolutely be staying at the Jay again (the elevators and street noise were not a problem for us as is mentioned in some reviews as a problem for others)."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

8/10 Good

"Hotel is old but a good location and budget friendly. Our bathroom was remodel but not clean upon arrival. They did provide cleaning wipe for me to clean. The neighborhood sidewalks was filled with feces (watch you step when walking outside). If you are okay with city noises than you will be fine with the noisy streets. Unfortunately, the coffee machine was out of order during our stay. The Cozy Cafe was a good spot for food and coffee. The staff was helpful and nice."
