Stanford Court San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Cute hotel! Conveniently located next to almost everything we wanted to do."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Thank you , Holiday Inn San Francisco!! The view from my room was BREATH TAKING ! The Hotel was clean ! Staff were all polite and extremely helpful ! And I loved all of the amenities like the pool and the gym ! I truly enjoyed all of the surrounding restaurants and nightlife just outside of the hotel ! Definitely going to book again !"

Hotel Julian

8/10 Good

"We have two rooms, when we get there, one room the sink clogged and the other room smells bad. We ask the staff to fix it, the room with clogged sink they cannot fix they change the room for us right away but the room with bad smells the staff keep telling us they didn’t smell anything and don’t want to change the room for us, we insisted and finally the staff ask the manager and the manager agree to change the room for us. And to mention here, the staff’s (a guy working after 5pm) attitude is not good, being rude to my friend. To be fair, the hotel overall is clean and other staff is nice."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

8/10 Good

"Very minimalistic features. A stool, instead of a chair. Our room was a handicap access room, and 3 times during our stay, we had to go down to the front desk to get help because the automatic door would not open. They were very helpful, but the issue was never completely addressed. In spite of this, we were comfortable here."
