Top Excelsior Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"The self-serve coffee machine in the lobby guaranteed that I would be able to get a cup of coffee, anytime I wanted it. While it wasn’t the best cup of coffee that I ever had, it did the trick when no coffee shops were open. There were other settings on the machine for espresso, cappuccino, etc. How many times have you stayed in an hotel where the in-room coffee maker wouldn’t work? This machine in the lobby was really a nice touch. There was a nice selection of tea and cookies, too. But give me the coffee."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Parc 55 is a great place to stay if you like a convenient location. I was there 4 days, 3 nights and liked being close to the city centre, the train is really close so getting around was not hard. I would give this a 5, but my room was not cleaned during my stay. Other than that, you will enjoy it here."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

8/10 Good

"Well, it’s on the wharf so that’s nice Good View And they did have a hot tub that works, so that was very nice The only negative is the charge for the parking for 45 and it’s not easy to bring your luggage in in a few places But on the whole, it’s a pretty nice hotel. They do have a nice restaurant not cheap but decent food."

Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Positives: Front Desk person ensured I had a quiet room/floor when asked for room pref. Clean King Bed and room. Friendly but overworked staff - 1 person manning Front Desk around noon and she was swamped and could use a 2nd person to man it. Decent restaurant with validated parking if you dine there for guests visiting. TV remote in plastic bag indicating a likely cleaned object. Most hotels forget that aspect. Noise level - good, quiet enough. But can still hear kids jumping up and down from top floor and parents doing nothing to stop it. (Families with children should all be on one side of the hotel so they can experience all that lovely noise and bond together.) Cons: Hotel Shuttle covers 2 addtl Hotels = long waits and not accurate scheduling as result. Nice drivers tho. Budget an extra 30-45 min due to this. Shuttle Tracking map is hard to navigate / estimate. Bathroom had a missing fixture for Shower valve cover and wrong directions for Hot Cold water. Not a dealbreaker but its worth fixing. Bathroom ceiling had a few holes. No blackout curtain clips to keep out sun out completely. Gym should be open longer into the night. Wifi spotty - keeps cutting out frequently"
