Top California Welcome Center Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel lobby decor is outstanding. The seating area is beautiful. We had a ferry building and bay bridge close up view room on the 14th floor - we are local to the Bay area and had never seen views like that from a room before. Outstanding. Room was very comfortable. The only area for improvement, if there was one is the slow pace of the lift service. Other than that, it was a memorable stay."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Just OK for the price. Great location, small gym, underwhelming breakfast."

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

Wharf Inn

8/10 Good

"It was a little on the pricey side for this type of hotel but it was in a great location, you could walk everywhere around the Wharf. So that made it better. It was clean just a little outdated. They are trying to renovate so that is a plus. If needed would stay there again just because of the location. Friendly staff as well. Had little fridge in the room would have liked better if they had microwave as well."
