FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Good facility. Just be careful when walking at night as hotel is close to the Tenderloin area."

Hotel Caza Fisherman´s Wharf

8/10 Good

"The entrance and bench out front was filthy with cigarettes everywhere and the coffee area was messy and trash laying around. The kids play area was not well kept at any given point. The room was fine, but very noisy. Sounded like the neighbors were coming into our room all night. The timer on the bathroom light could go without since it would time out while in the shower and no way to turn it back on. That was wildly annoying. Especially slipping when I got out. The pool was out of service which was a primary reason for this location. The parking fee not listed on reservations and insanely over priced!! Overall not very pleased"
