"."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this quirky hotel. In the perfect location close to Pier 39 trams and cable cars. Staff very helpful. Love the games room and the outside entertaining area with the fire pits. Our room was a little noisy with the person above us walking around non stop. But other than that would definitely stay here again."

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

8/10 Good

"The staff were so great! I travel often and am always refreshed by kind and helpful staff! The property itself was great, some physical maintenance needed but definitely not a deal breaker!"

Europa Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel for its location and the price is reasonable. Location is in Little Italy and nearby Chinatown and public transportation to get around the city. The rooms don't appear to have air conditioning or a work desk so I don't recommend this for traveling workers. Gets loud at night outside because of the late night establishments so that's can be a plus or a minus depending on your preferences, but I would stay here again if I needed a last minute reservation in San Francisco."

InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice old hotel. No longer luxurious but has some old world charm. Staff all very friendly and helpful with"
