Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in union square and easy transportation to anywhere. Kids loved the small outdoor pool. Easy in and out parking although pricey."

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Parking fee was $80 something, but they have sf service charge and something, I believe I pay all my deposits for parking, total becomes $95 or more, very expensive"

The Marker Union Square San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"We booked this hotel due to the proximity to my son’s university, and based on reviews. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The valet guys all super helpful as well. We arrived at 11pm and the gentleman was quick to help us move the boxes from the bed of the truck into the inside of the truck. We had a lot of boxes for my son’s dorm. We received a free bottle of wine plus two drink tickets. The only down side was that the restaurant closed early. But it’s ok… I loved the lobby area, the library area was super relaxing as well."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and breakfast was great"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location and the rooms are very nice. Can be noisy from guests above ,if you are on a lower floor. The food at breakfast is wonderful and plentiful but having to wait in line to get in was not fun. Always crowded and noisy. Wish they would give you complimentary coffee while you wait!"

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is always excellent and polite and helpful housekeeping staff"

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most amazing 2 day stay , we were greeted by Ernesto who was so very helpful he provided us with so much information about the sites , bus tours , cruises and wine tours. Ernesto also offered us a hotel upgrade which came with so many benefits. We just wish we had a longer stay."

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"Sq footage was good for the deluxe king. Relatively clean, but housekeeping needs to be more thorough with the bathroom. The shampoo, conditioner, body wash should be screwed to the rear of the shower and not glued to the side. Lacking a refrigerator, microwave, and airport shuttle. The staff were very friendly and the stay was a very good value otherwise."
