Top Portola Hotel Reviews

Fairmont San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible property! Professional staff! One of our favorite rooms in a suite on an upper floor with views of Alcatraz and the bridge!"

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here for business and pleasure and it was very nice. I got a room with a view of the water and the airport and just loved every minute there. The front office staff were the nicest people I have ever met and the housekeeper was great as well. We did not have our room cleaned but when I asked her for anything, she was amazing. We stayed in room 1308 so shout out to the person working on that floor because it looked great and she was super sweet. I will definitely stay here again when I come back for work. Also, the restaurant was great!!"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. With the Hiltons account linked we got a breakfast credit however it was for a certain amount so you will be charged for going over the allotted amount. The indoor pool was nice but there were areas that were not cleaned well because the furniture was not moved. Overall a nice stay."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed here multiple times, my kids love it, it’s the perfect location to explore the Wharf and Pier 39. You can walk to Ghirardelli Square, and the selection of great restaurants in the area is fantastic. The overnight parking garage is convenient, and we always love the breakfast buffet! Highly recommend!"
