Top Golden Gate Hotel Reviews

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Fav hotel in SF"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

8/10 Good

"The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was beautiful and clean, with the amenity of having a coffee shop, restaurant and convenience store on site. The only complaint I have is this: When I tried to use the computer in the lobby to print out my airline boarding pass for the next day, I was told that it was too old to complete this task. So, I went to the main reception desk, and they printed it out for me. Much appreciated!"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was the best I've ever had at a hotel. Hotel was very clean and I didn't notice a single bug anywhere (I've stayed at some bad hotels in the past and this is important) Location was excellent. It was a great stay overall. Now for the negatives,... Air conditioner was very noisy and didn't seem to get cold enough, toilet seat seems to be coming off hinge, the outside pool was not heated and the worst thing for me is they charge an extra $165.00 at check-in. It's more than a little annoying when you think you've paid in full and arrive to find out you still have to pay for some hidden fees."
