Top Lakeshore Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"This is a huge, busy hotel. Our room was large, clean and properly equipped, if unexciting. Plastic and paper cups were a cheap touch but the towels were wonderful. There was no view. Our bar experience was disappointing, with only one working bartender and no table service for a rather large crowd. The breakfast was impressive with fresh fruit, eggs, sausage, pancakes and pastries. Even at 7 am it was crowded, although there was plenty of seating, by the time we left, all the tables looked to be taken. Great location for walking the Fisherman's Wharf area and walking distance to our cruise dock."

DoubleTree by Hilton San Francisco South Airport Blvd

2/10 Terrible

"Staff was very unhelpful. I waited 1.5 hrs for the airport shuttle. Other DT shuttle drivers told me it was not unusual for this specific doubletree to have customers waiting long periods of time. Check-in not easy - wrong room etc. worst of all the front desk never answered the phone when I called ever! I’m a flight attendant so I needed a wake up call. Finally I went down at 10:30pm to ask for a call. I did - they took my request and I DID NOT RECEIVE a call. Upon checking out at 3:15am I was told I could not check out, nor receive my discount (restaurant) due to being too early and they no longer offer airline discounts. I moved to another doubletree that treats customers/ airline employees with respect ~ and they answer the phones!!!"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Here’s a polished version for a hotel review: We really enjoyed our stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Berkeley Marina. We were in town for a graduation and were glad we chose something a little removed from campus. The waterfront setting made it feel like a relaxing retreat, and César Chávez Park right next door was a wonderful spot for a morning jog. In the evenings, we enjoyed the fire pits, and the indoor pool was a nice bonus. Our room was simple, clean, and comfortable. While the furnishings felt a bit dated, everything was very well maintained and spotless. My only complaint is the parking fee. At $45 per night plus taxes and fees, it ended up costing nearly $50 per night, which felt excessive. Other than that, I highly recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best hotel in SF. CLASSIC - thick solid walls, staircases, casement windows yet all the modern conveniences - wifi, smart tv, mini-fridge, etc. Family-owned since 1920’s and you can tell it’s lovingly-maintained. Friendly, efficient staff and enough of them! “Old-fashioned” service like bellpersons to fetch bags. Prime location 600 ft from Union Square and 250 feet from theatres. Easy valet parking and access to O’Farrell St without walking around the block. (I recommend Cafe Mason, around the corner, for breakfast or lunch). And it has an outdoor swimming pool!! Booking through Expedia, we not only got a much lower price, we got to-go breakfast boxes AND 20% off parking. The Handlery is my go-to spot for fun in SF!"

Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful vacation this year and Hotel Caza was a big part of it. We were so happy with our room and the staff was amazing! This hotel is clean and the bed was so comfortable. The lobby is family friendly lots of room to relax and play games I didn’t swim but the pool is very nice also. So close to everything, we didn’t even need a car. We will definitely stay here again!"
