FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

6/10 Okay

"Good location. Easy to get in and out. Perfect if you’re just sleeping. Amenities were almost non-existent."

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is good hotel to stay in. Friendly staff and clean room. My Deluxe room was big enough that i wished had place a small couch in the open space. The buffet breaskfast is good, b ut I wished they provided more food options. This was my second time staying at this hotel."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location. Nice, older hotel. The concierge, Judi, was very helpful. Only one elevator was working and that just wasn't enough for the amount of guests. Our room was okay; nothing fancy but comfortable. We couldn't get the a/c or heat to move off 68 degrees. The shower was tiny and not easy to use."

YOTEL San Francisco

2/10 Terrible

"Didn't even make it to check in. Drove around for 30 mins to find parking. Then after arriving to the hotel, all the doors were locked and the call box was not working. Waited for about 5 mins and had to call someone to let us in. The front desk reception had been sitting maybe 50ft from the door the entire time we were waiting. Later called to get a refund and never made contact with the manager. "
