The Phoenix Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Safe, quiet and clean hotel with secure parking ... would not hesitate to return."

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help with anything I needed. The room was comfortable with great amenities and a relaxing atmosphere. I also loved the convenient location, which made it easy to explore the area. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable experience."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Location of the property in proximity to Pier 39 was fantastic. It was a super easy location to navigate within the rest of the city as well. The rooms were really nice as well as the beds. Our bathroom was super small though. The included breakfast was fantastic. The downside is that if you have any tours that begin before 6:30am, there are no food options to select from inside the hotel. You are close to a Trader Joe's, Starbucks and Walgreens if needed. The outside fire pits could use some attention as they are a little dirty and the seating around then is well worn."

Embassy Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Terrible hotel, smelled musty, bed was horrible! Literally was just springs and hurt every time I tried to turn over. It was very cold and we asked for extra pillows and a blanket and they gave us some sort of thin bed cover that would slide right off. There was loud construction going on right outside our window and when we asked about moving rooms they said the only one they had available was worse than the room we had. So we had to stay in that smelly room with the worse bed I have ever slept in! Worst hotel stay ever!!"

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

2/10 Terrible

"I stayed at Hilton Financial District in San Francisco with my family of four. We arrived around midday, and I do appreciate that the staff accommodated an early check-in by 1:30 PM, which was helpful after travel. However, I was quite surprised and disappointed to learn that our booking (made through Expedia) did not guarantee rooms on the same floor. As we were traveling with children, this was an important consideration for us. At check-in, we were informed that if we wanted rooms on the same floor, we would need to pay an additional fee. This put us in a difficult position, and we felt compelled to pay extra to ensure our family could stay close together. It was frustrating, as this was not clearly communicated during the booking process, and it reduced the value of booking through Expedia. Overall, while the staff were courteous, I would strongly recommend that families confirm room arrangements in advance and that the hotel (or booking platforms) be more transparent about such policies."
