Top Portsmouth Square Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"Great Location! Staff is amazing."

InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice bfast buffet. Great view from the room. Temperature in room was perfect. Bed was really nice. Large room. Top of the Mark was fun too!"

Stanford Court San Francisco

8/10 Good

"H"

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect as long as you don’t have to park a car. Or if you don’t mind walking to your destinations or grabbing an Uber."

Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were on the small side but the hotel was just beautiful and service was terrific all around."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great property in a great location and a great view of the city. The staff were friendly and helpful. There’s a bar and restaurant. I didn’t attend however it seemed pretty convenient."

Grant Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Grant Plaza Hotel is my go-to when the city isn’t too busy. I stay here quite a lot, especially when I’m in the city for work, so the staff knows me by now. It’s affordable, the staff is awesome, and I always feel welcome here. It was one of the hottest days of the year, and I really didn’t want to go back home, so I booked a room within minutes. This time around, I actually arrived at the hotel at a decent hour! They even asked if I needed a quiet room. Of course, I said, “Yes, please!” It’s little touches like these that make me come back. There is always someone at the front desk, so if you are out late they will buzz you in. The housekeepers are very welcoming too and always make a point to say hello. It really gives the hotel a friendly, familiar feel. One tip: bring your favorite lotion and conditioner. They do provide soap and a shampoo/conditioner combo, but the two-in-one doesn’t work particularly well with my hair. Overall, Grant Plaza Hotel is one of the best inexpensive hotels in the city."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA

8/10 Good

"The bathroom was ok except the water when you shower the water is not draining well! Staff was so so, we didn’t have breakfast at the hotel, parking was ok."
