Top California Academy of Sciences Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"Exelente!!!"

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything from the beginning to the end was wonderful. We stayed for two nights. We were here for my sister-in-laws wedding. We booked three Suites and two standard rooms. Rooms were great, view was breathtaking. House keeping was wonderful. Service was on point. The only issue we ran into was the greeter near the front entrance. He was a tall bald guy. I did not get his name. He was very sarcastic and rude to my guest and I. He was there late in the evening. Overall the our experience here was wonderful. Thank you all for your services and making our stay wonderful."

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great place for our family of three this weekend! I really appreciated that there was no issue checking in a little early and they were very accommodating and welcoming. The room was spotless and very comfortable. Will absolutely stay again the next time we are in town!"

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."

Casa Loma Hotel

8/10 Good

"We were happy with our stay at the Casa Loma. We were only there to sleep so didn't spend much time there. They have a coffee machine in the lobby in the morning, that was good. There is a bus line going east and west nearby and one going north and south as well. Fell St was just outside our window and can be quite busy but did not bother our sleep. The bathroom was clean but the shower door was out of level so the door rolled open so had to stuff a towel in the roller to keep closed. Would have been nice to have a chair of some sort in the room. There was a refrigerator in the room but did not keep our water bottle cold. It was plugged in but could not find a switch or dial in it."
