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."

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."

Hotel Zelos San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect room for business travelers. Very comfortable room and great view out the window. Centrally located to BART, restaurants, and a Trader Joe's next door. One of the few hotels where I felt settled right away and throughout the stay. The only thing that didn't quite work was some drainage/plumbing problem in the shower. I know I could've called for help, but I was battling a bad cold and didn't have the mental energy to deal with having my room and belongings disturbed. Wish it was inspected and taken care of before my arrival."
