The Mosser

4/10 Poor

"Coffee was horrible my wife is lactose intolerant."

San Francisco Marriott Marquis

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place to stay. We got in at 10 AM from our early morning flight and checked in to simply drop off our luggage only to be surprised with an our room ready. We were so happy, for we got to nap for 30 minutes before exploring the city. Customer service here is top-notch."

Hotel VIA

8/10 Good

"Great hotel if you’re in town for a ball game. My husband is a huge baseball fan so we did the Ball Park view which can’t be beat. The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. We got in on a late flight and went up to the rooftop, their kitchen graciously stayed open even though we were ordering a couple minutes before they closed for the night. Room cleaning comes a bit early, we got a knock at 8am after arriving late, so if you like to sleep in hit the DND button before you go to bed. Location wise, Via is about 20 minutes from the airport which was a breeze arriving and leaving. It’s a very quiet area when there’s no ball game and everything closes before 11. If you’re in town to sight see and do a game, it’s about an hour walk to Fisherman’s wharf. We wanted to order a pizza but delivery options were limited, we ended up having to use a 3rd party service (DD/UE) which was $$. Overall, happy with our stay and I would consider staying here again if we were just in town for just a night and just a game."
