Top Japantown Hotel Reviews

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

8/10 Good

"J"

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

8/10 Good

"The reason for 4 stars in an otherwise great hotel is that the bathroom doors in our room were not staying shut because the spring on the door was broken. Upon confirming that it could not be fixed, we were allotted a different room. The front desk was really helpful in getting this sorted, kudos to them. I am taking away the one star for the inconvenience we faced."
