"Everything about the stay was first class. We checked in early and and our room was ready. McKenzie was friendly and very helpful at check-in. Our room was clean and beautifully maintained. We frequented the bar downstairs each night of our stay and were treated like royalty by our host Bryce and by our servers Kabin and Anton. To sum up, our stay was outstanding and I'd highly recommend this property to anyone visiting San Francisco,"

Top Old St. Mary's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and comfortable. The bathroom on the other hand was so small that you had to straddle the toilet just to close the door. But it was clean and functional. Would I stay there again? Sure if I ever come back to SF. Did we try the breakfast buffet that came with the room rate, no. The line was so long and we didn’t want to stand in line to grab a coffee and a bite. But it must have been nice because there were a lot of people there."

InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful and I loved the Top of the Mark as well. Beautiful hotel"

Stanford Court San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place, just beware of all the destination fees. Bartender and front desk was good, food and drinks are over priced."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA

8/10 Good

"Hyatt has a lot of amenities available to any guest, even if you're not a member. Which is very nice. I would have given 5 stars but the pillows were awful, all down no firm ones at all. So they would just squish and flatten into nothing. There is no microwave and the refrigerator is very tiny. The biggest problem for us personally was no in room A/C. There is a thermostat that allows you to turn on a fan that wafts a gentle breath of cool air from the ceiling vent. Big difference from having a unit in room that you can control. There was a light mildew smell but it wasn't overwhelming. Otherwise a very nice king corner room ,excellent staff,and a lot of amenities. Also the best hotel room coffee I've ever had"

Grant Plaza Hotel
