Find Beach Hotels in Downtown San Francisco, CA

"Convenient location, central enough to walk around Chinatown, towards Embarcadero, water front "

"Being a boutique hotel, I try to be very aware of how things are done here. It's an old building so obviously, things will be old too. In the bathroom, there were multiple little flies in there and we even found a dead cockroach in the drawers. It wasn't even worth noting because we were leaving soo anyways but it left a bad taste. Our key cards stopped working mid trip as well. "

"This is a solid option for being in the heart of SF without paying the exhorbitant prices of nearby chain hotels. I would stay here again. Safe, easy access, and friendly staff. It is smallish, older, but if you need a place to stay that won't break the bank. This is a place to consider."

"Everything is near by and rooms are clean. "

"The King George Hotel is an older hotel and is perhaps best described as in the style of an older European pension. Room was exceptionally clean; overall I found the hotel absolutely charming with spacious lobby and bar (open 4p-10p except Thursdays and Fridays); very steep circular steps at front and back; one small elevator. Be advised that deluxe rooms have air conditioning; standard rooms do not. If you want a refrigerator, request it right away as it's not automatic in the room (same with a fan). I was in 809, at the end of the hallway, a charming standard queen, and I happened to be there during an unusually hot period with city heat advisory -- in March 2026! Room was always very warm, but I got air circulating with propping open the door, opening the window, and having the fans go. Ceiling fan worked well. Note that this is not a complaint, but just an advisory for others who may read this and may expect something else. Also nearby are excellent food options (including 24 hour diner on weekends). I was there for a conference, and the King George was only around the corner from the conference hotels, whose conference rates were triple what I paid for the King George. Trader Joe's is in easy walking distance. People were great, shout-out to maintenance and housekeeping staff and to Jayson the bartender. The first floor lobby area and bar area, with TVs, plugs, tables, chairs, etc., was wonderful (but no air circulation). Free coffee and pastry in the morning too! "

"Great service by "

"This is my go-to in San Francisco, for five reasons: 1) The lobby restaurant is pretty good and the snack bar is excellent. 2) I get rooms with balconies where I can vape. 3) Just outside the door is Philz Coffee, best of the coffee chains IMO. 4) The Embarcadero food and farmer's market scene. 5) And the views. The beds are good. The shower is the best of a bad situation. I dislike bath/shower combos with shower curtains. Here they've done the best they can by installing upgraded shower heads. There's not a lot of charm, but this hotel does large-downtown-business-oriented-chain as well as can be done. "

"Staff was friendly and welcoming 24/7. I never had to open any door myself in the lobby. I felt safe and it was clean. Location isn’t noisy at all. Probably the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in for an exceptional price. "

"Yes kinda"
