Top Walnut Creek Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast is elaborate and we are vegetarian so it was really nice. The hotel staff was very helpful"

Fairmont San Francisco

8/10 Good

"My husband and I have always loved staying at old, historic, but well-maintained hotels. For our anniversary we decided to stay at The Fairmont San Francisco. The hotel is quite imposing and in a great location perched on top of Nob Hill. The room was large, clean and well appointed. For the most part the hotel met our expectations with one glaring exception. There literally is no real bar in the entire hotel. Yes, you can order a drink in the main dining room and carry it down a hall to an outside "rooftop" garden (which isn't on a rooftop) or stand at one designated bar table in the Tonga Bar. If I had one recommendation for the hotel it would be to install in that magnificent lobby one out-of-this world bar. There's more than enough room and what a draw that would be! The Cirque Bar would make a great speak-easy type bar. It's really a lackluster morning coffee cafe."
