Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at your lovely hotel. It was in celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary, and the receptionist did all he could to get us a great room overlooking Coit Tower. This is where I proposed, so it holds a special place in our hearts. That set the stage for the rest of the stay, and it, too, was wonderful. We will definitely be back. Thanks for making our special day even more special!"
