Top University of California Hotel Reviews

Hotel Majestic

10/10 Excellent

"Cute hotel, and very friendly staff! Would be happy to stay there again."

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel. Lots of nice amenities. Only dislike I have is that the area is kind of sketchy due to some homeless around, but they did not bother anyone. You can park at the parking lot across the street for significantly cheaper than at the property. Hot tub, pool, fitness area, and restaurants were very nice and the rooms were beautiful. Close to a lot of local shops and bus stops."

The Grove Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay. Close to public transportation, 1 and a half blocks to a beautiful park, trader Joes and more. Aziza was helpful and professional."

Becks Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great overnight stay"

Perramont Hotel

8/10 Good

"Safe and budget friendly place near the Castro. The walls are thin, can hear the other guests. The shower and bathroom are shared and not well maintained."

The Hotel Castro San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect place to stay if you wanna stay in the Castro. Extremely well located… There’s an incredible market across the street to pick up some food and snacks… all of the bars and restaurants are within walking distance… I would 100% stay there again when in San Francisco…"

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The hotel was excellent, and the overall experience was fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, making me feel comfortable throughout my stay. A special shout-out to Vijay, who was exceptionally friendly, professional, and attentive. His warm hospitality and positive attitude truly made a difference and made my stay even more enjoyable. Great service, a welcoming atmosphere, and amazing hospitality. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to stay here again. Thank you for making my stay such a pleasant experience!"

Symphony Inn

10/10 Excellent

"the location is excellent, the room was very clean and had everything we needed. It is a short 1 to 2 block walk to two excellent breakfast places: La Boulangerie and Wise and Sons Deli. 2 blocks away is an amazing Burmese Restaurant. The on site parking is an amazing perk...just be sure to get there right at check-in."

The Metro Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great restaurant Esme right next door. Rooms are clean but can be stuffy on warm days"
