Top Portola Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience. The staff were nice and helpful. Everything was well maintained."

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is the perfect place to stay for a fisherman’s wharf vacation. The location is perfect and not too busy. There were reviews of how loud it can get but did not experience that at all. The staff was very helpful with our luggage, being that we were on a road trip and had a lot of luggage that needed to be stored."

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"If you want a spacious and clean room near all that’s happening in the heart of San Francisco, this hotel does the trick. The stairs and hallways leading to your room are a little vintage but once you are in the room, the walls are thick, the bed is comfortable and the amenities are contemporary. I would recommend this."
