Top El Granada Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton San Francisco Airport North Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Clean"

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Francisco Airport Waterfront

8/10 Good

"Great place for families, we stayed there for 2 days. The facility is really clean and is really calm and relaxing. The rooms were comfortable and clean a little outdated but sort of cool and its own way. Complementary breakfast is nice, we would’ve loved to use the pool and hot tub during the adults only time which is between the hours of 9 and 11 PM. However, the rule did not get enforced both nights we were there. We will definitely come back and stay at this location."

YOTEL San Francisco

8/10 Good

"The “smart” room needs some tweaks. I was unable to shut off the main light in the room because there were no instructions. I literally scoured the internet for instructions but no go. Found out i the morning that I had to press the dimmer switch twice - not sure how I was supposed to know that! Room was small but space was used efficiently. Smart bed was cool. Towel heater didn’t work. Location is convenient but it’s a rough neighborhood that may put some people off. Would stay again now that I know how to turn off the damn light"

Oceano Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Positives -The room was large, clean and convenient to restaurants. Great private deck. Free parking under hotel in large lot was nice. Walking distance to marina. Negative-while the room and hotel are very nice, if you’re hoping for oceanfront/water views it’s not possible. Yes, you’ll see the water in the distance, but there is a road and a parking lot in front of the hotel. Once the door is open, you’ll hear constant road, motorcycle and car noise driving by the place. (I was on top floor) the doors also slam hard when closed creating noise for every door closure. It feels overpriced, for the simple fact it didn’t feel like a true waterfront hotel."
