Hotel Caza Fisherman´s Wharf

8/10 Good

"Very convenient walking distance to Ghirardelli square. Also right up front is one of the stations for the Big Bus hop on hop off tour if you like that like we do. Pool was closed for renovations and it did not say at reservation time so that was a little but of a bummer. Area around felt pretty safe to walk at night. Overall I would return"

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"Overall good experience"

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."

"Clean room,friendly staff,nearby everything you want to do,the only thing is the check in is a little bit late .9,8/10 experience"
