1. Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero

Financial District, 2.2 km from Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum

"Everything about the stay was first class. We checked in early and and our room was ready. McKenzie was friendly and very helpful at check-in. Our room was clean and beautifully maintained. We frequented the bar downstairs each night of our stay and were treated like royalty by our host Bryce and by our servers Kabin and Anton. To sum up, our stay was outstanding and I'd highly recommend this property to anyone visiting San Francisco,"

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

8/10 Good

"The property is within walking distance to fisherman warf I wish there was an outdoor area to relax and go to. Breakfast could’ve had a little bit more variety, but had a good variety like cut up fruit or bacon. Parking is very expensive $65 a day. I think thats around going rates in San Francisco."

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel as advertised and great location. Only thing to confirm is that you are not ground level with a courtyard it means people are literally at your window all the time. Otherwise great place"

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

8/10 Good

"Fix the elevators !"

Argonaut Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location"

San Remo Hotel

8/10 Good

"Cute but very small ... a bunk bed, bathroom& sink ... that's all! There was no dresser, no table, no ledge no chair, we had to put stuff in the sink to keep it off the floor. A bit loud in the morning due to construction taking place in our room was written near the coffee center. So it was loud as people were heating up their breakfasts and making their coffee. If you are in the far end of hall you probably wouldn't have heard any of that. Although the review sounds negative, it wasn't, it was very nice place. The people were friendly and it was really central to everything that we wanted to do period"
