Soma House

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was fantastic and the facilities were great. Staff very friendly especially in the restaurant. Would recommend and return"

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Easy access off Van Ness with good parking. Clean, didn’t get overwhelmed by any fragrance (sometimes an issue in other hotels that pump in fragrance whether you want or can tolerate it or not). Loved they had both firm & soft pillows, labeled in embroidery on the pillowcase. Reasonably priced for the area. Definitely will stay again. No microwave in room but there’s a useable one in a common space. Mini fridge in room which was more important to us."

Fairmont San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Nickeled and Dimed, but still a good time! The hotel is gorgeous and the location is perfect. The "urban fee" is a ridiculous way to make you overspend - just charge me $10 more dollars at the top and don't make me 'figure out hot how to utilize the $10 minibar credit that I am getting charged $10 a day for.' I recommend it for the luxury and the staff, but will try another resort next trip."
