Hilton San Francisco Union Square

8/10 Good

"Excellent check in process with Antionette. Room clean and spacious. Will book again when in the area. "

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"LOCATION, lLOCATION, LOCATION! We stayed here for the convenience of the location closest to tourist attractions and transportation. The complimentary breakfast is complete with hot and cold items, juice and fruits. The beds were so comfy too! The pool was too cold for winter. Will recommend to stay here. "

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

6/10 Okay

"I love the location in the center of the city on Van Ness near California. For what you get the price is very reasonable. We received free parking which I don’t know if it’s normal but most hotels charge you $30-$80 per day to park. We were given a room on the 24th floor, which had a beautiful view of a large portion of San Francisco. The only downside is if you’re a light sleeper and your room is on the Van Ness side of the hotel there’s quite a bit of street noise. Even if you’re on the 24th floor, which is very near the top of the hotel. Overall the price of the room with free parking, including a breakfast and we ate out with family that morning, is a really good deal for a very solid hotel in a city full of expensive rooms."

Embassy Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"This hotel needs a major overhaul. Creaky floors, wafer thin walls, no AC, smelly, outdated and more than anything, unsafe. Situated in such a sketchy area with people passed out near the doorstep, needles in the sidewalk and at one point a guy on a bicycle wielding a pocket knife! My family of 4 left at 3am because of the noise, heat and smell. Just don’t stay here. Trust me. This place is awful"
