Top City Lights Booksellers Hotel Reviews

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The beds were comfortable, the staff were helpful and flexible when our flight was delayed, and the location was so convenient. I wish the coffee in the lobby was available every morning."

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Staff were great and breakfast was very good. Property well maintained."

Stanford Court San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at the top of Nob Hill! My husband and I were tourists of SAN Francisco. The Hotel is located in a great spot for catching the cable cars to get around! We loved the breakfast even though it wasn’t complimentary it was delicious! However drinks were free with our room reservations. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our last day there we wanted to tour a little more after checkout and they held our bags for us."

InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is Magestic, however; The restaurant was not what I expected. There was a minimal menu offered all day. No Evening Dinner Menu. Just Burgers and pasta. A very expensive Breakfast menu and buffet. The Front desk, Rick, was so helpful finding Reservations in Chinatown during the Moon Festival. He listened to our needs and found the perfect place, two nights in a row. The Top of the Mark lounge is very busy almost all week. Reservations are recommended just for cocktails with a view. It would be nice to offer some special accomodation for guests staying at the hotel. The room was worn, edges of tables chipped and lamps a bit wobbly. Linens and cleanliness were on point. We had a nice week long stay in this iconic hotel."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel. Perfect location. Clean. Amenities were great. Overall great hotel for families."

Comfort Inn by the Bay

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was good just not enough tables."

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

8/10 Good

"The reason for 4 stars in an otherwise great hotel is that the bathroom doors in our room were not staying shut because the spring on the door was broken. Upon confirming that it could not be fixed, we were allotted a different room. The front desk was really helpful in getting this sorted, kudos to them. I am taking away the one star for the inconvenience we faced."
