Top Northern California Hotel Reviews

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place in excellent condition with excellent staff. My only critiques are that due to the design, there is little privacy for the rooms overlooking the pool. If you are on your balcony, you are on display for at least 75% of the other rooms. Also - the heated spa is located on a raised platform in the middle of the area - it seems almost like you're onstage, Any conversations that took place in the spa were distinctly heard on my 5th floor balcony. Since children love the spa, it was quite noisy at times."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean and well kept grounds. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The location is prime within walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf and North Beach."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly, this hotel was amazing from start to finish! The staff was incredible, the valet service was excellent, and everything went so smoothly. The location was perfect, close to everything in the city, which made exploring San Francisco so easy. The room was beautiful, and the view was amazing! Overall, I had a great experience and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I will definitely be staying at Park 55 again the next time I’m back in San Francisco. Highly recommend! 🌉"
