Top Polk Gulch Hotel Reviews

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome location with a parking garage a block away"

Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Curtains in room were a little dirty, no microwaves available per room but there was a microwave in the lobby. Those are the only cons I can think of, otherwise, the hotel felt safe, the staff was kind and the rooms in general were comfortable. I also liked that it was away from the craziness that was downtown. I was originally going to book a hotel near Union Square but after circling for parking and garages close to the hotel I was going to originally stay at, I decided on this one. I'm so happy I did, I knew my rental car was safe, and the area was super quiet, there's also a Benihana practically across the street for a quick bite to eat. Would stay here again for sure."

Fairmont San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont San Francisco in Nob Hill. The hotel itself is beautiful and full of classic San Francisco charm, but the highlight for us was definitely our corner room. The views were absolutely incredible. Being able to look out over the city and across the bay, especially as the light changed throughout the day, made the whole stay feel extra special. There’s something pretty unforgettable about waking up to those sweeping views of San Francisco and then seeing the city and bay lit up at night. We found ourselves just standing by the windows taking it all in. The location on Nob Hill was also perfect for exploring the city, and coming back to such a beautiful hotel at the end of the day made the experience even better. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and everything about our stay felt polished without losing the historic character that makes the Fairmont so iconic. We would absolutely stay here again. If you have the opportunity to book a corner room with a city and bay view, it’s worth it. Those views alone made our stay one we’ll remember for a long time."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very good, with a great location. What stood out the most was the customer service. I had a few issues with the room, and Kevin, the housekeeping manager, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and that everything was taken care of. He even provided a gift certificate for a complimentary night to compensate for the issues. I really appreciated how responsive and accommodating he was. I highly recommend this hotel."
