Top San Francisco Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was pleasant, great location in the middle of the city, asked for a high floor and received it."

Stanford Court San Francisco

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and large, and the bed was very comfortable. Two things I'd comment on -- one that the hotel can do something about, and one they can't: 1) the view toward the Bay from my room would have been tremendous, but the windows were so dirty I could barely see through them. And 2) there is quite a bit of street noise. I used a white noise app so that I could sleep, and that helped. The breakfast is generous and the food is good. The woodwork in the room was a little tired, especially in the bathroom. Overall this was a good value and a good location for what I needed."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Room very clean. Walk to it long (we were in the furthest room from the lobby on the third floor). Hallways where the room was were a bit beat up. Not the first time I booked thru Expedia or other third party site and was relegated to the furthest, least updated part of the hotel. Breakfast was good but chaotic. Can’t comment on the pool. Too cool this time of year. There are gas fire pits in front but were taken every night we were there. Not sure how to reserve/get one. Location excellent. Lots of bus stops near by and pier 39 maybe 5 minute walk tops."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

8/10 Good

"Look it's a historic hotel that's been redone so don't expect much. They have a nice coffee maker in the reception and the staff is nice but that's about it. Rooms were spacious but you can hear all the street noise which wasn't all that bad. My only concern was that the sheets in my room were dirty, I informed the front desk (no telephone in the room btw, had to call the hotel from my phone lol) and they have one staff member on duty and he was nice enough to bring me a clean blanket. What was annoying is that the staff never bothered to take the dirty linen for my entire short stay. Can't blame the staff, it is what it is. My room also had some furniture missing and you have no place to sit except for the bed but that's what you get for a big city hotel."
