Top Polk Gulch Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"The balcony view was phenomenal"

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

8/10 Good

"It a beautiful Hotel . Thought the lounge and things were included but they tried to up sale instead. Also It wasn’t clear what restaurant had the daily credit and it’s not the breakfast one. I ate twice in the sushi one but wanted to save the credit .. And they wouldn’t credit me. Seems petty, but that’s where they could be more clear and better customer service."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The only issie I had was that you can hear the people in the next room talking. So it was hard to get to sleep. The walls seem "thin" in this hotel. Stayed here before and same thing. Could almost hear the conversation. City noise is always an issue but thats not the hotels fault. A garbage truck doing something woke me up at 4:30am. Loud banging and glass breaking for about an hour. Wasnt sure what it was. Other than that, the place was clean and bed/pillows very comfortable. Riom was a good temperature. The staff is super friendly. Ill continue to use this hotel."
