Top Downtown San Francisco Hotel Reviews

LUMA Hotel San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great clean organized rooms and attractive amenities like electric shades. One vital problem needs to be fixed in all rooms. When people sleep all the lights snd outlets go dead. If people use cpap this means the machine will be turned off—and a person can get hypoxia and die. Major praise for Sahil engineer and front desk. They fixed it by running an extension cord from fridge (only live wire at present in all rooms.) You need to prevent a death by by putting plugs for cpap by beds in ALL rooms! Thank you."

Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Location was ideal for going to a concert at the chase center, and is located right across from the stadium, so if you're looking for a place to stay before/after a Giant's game, this is an incredible spot. Felt very safe, and there were lots of parking garages around. Room was standard, breakfast was decently fresh American fare, and was easy to walk from here too. Soundproofing could use work since we could hear folks walking by the room and chatting, along with doors closing, but couldn't hear above or below us, so wouldnt rate it lower because of that. Overall, a great stay for a good price in a safe part of the city. "

The Marker Union Square San Francisco

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay but couldn’t seem to get the towel situation right until the last 2 days. There were 2 adults but only had one face towel, 2 hand towels and 2 bath towels. Even after requesting or going to get more, after the room was cleaned we will still end up with the same original amount, so had to request more at least 3 times during the visit. Other than that the stay was great. Good location, close to so many things"
