Top Novato Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed our stay. Had to cross driveway to get to room. Hotel larger and much busier than expected. Felt staff always occupied and needed information on how to get around SF. Could use more accessibility to bus routs maps available. Breakfast was the best I have ever had."

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Need a breakfast station for travelers"

The Marker Union Square San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Ok first… the staff is TOP notch. Everybody was super nice and friendly. But I hated the location. It felt unsafe to be outside and too close to the tenderloin for my liking. Not the hotels fault at all. But felt too unsafe outside"

Tilden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice hotel"

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The best part of our stay was the interactions with Robbie at the front desk. From the time we checked in to check out, he went out of his way to be helpful, attentive and kind—even remembered our names! Always smiling and engaging, he represents the property well in his attention to quality customer experience."

Comfort Inn by the Bay

8/10 Good

"Staff was nice, location was great, bed was pretty comfortable! Relatively quiet except for the AC unit- it worked great but was very loud. Decent room, but definitely older and looking a bit run down. Breakfast was pretty good and had quite a few options! Great coffee shop and pizza place right across the street and easy bus access. I’d stay here again, but it could definitely use a refresh!"
