Hotels in San Francisco, CA

“Amazing hotel in great location. Close to Union square, shopping mall and facing Market street. Dine-in service was quick and efficient. Hotel Stuff was incredible. Something I didn’t know, you get access to Equinox gym which is on the 4th floor, otherwise I’d bring some workout clothes.”

“Great hotel with an awesome staff. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. But the staff and location are what sets it apart. From the moment we checked in the staff was extremely friendly and helpful with our requests. Highly recommended with lots of food options close by”

“I've stayed here a dozen times or more over the last 30 years. nice neighborhood. its absolutely totally fine. you can ding a hotel anywhere but for affordable nothing beats this and they are nice and have free parking and close to pier 39... haters should go stay at nearby $500 /night hotels and complain about those.”

“Really great spot! Excellent location and quiet hotel. We were in town for an audition and the staff was really accommodating with giving us an extra quiet room and allowing late check-out. The garden is lovely! Super friendly staff and comfortable rooms. It's an older building, so there are some quirks that come along with that, but it adds charm!”

“Had a wonderful six night stay at the Chancellor Hotel. Our room was spotlessly clean very comfortable with lots of thoughtful extras e.g. bath salts for the tub and lots of mirrors in the bathroom. The staff were all lovely, and very helpful. The coffee machine and cookies in reception were an added bonus!”

“We’re a family of 4 and stayed at the argonaut for a few night visiting San Francisco in august. Overall, we had a very good experience. The beds are comfortable, the double quin room we got was roomy and the room had a nice design (but the view was practically not relevant). The hotel location is excellent with many cafes and restaurants around and the hotel staff was very accommodating and very helpful. We recommend this hotel.”

“The Marina Hotel is GORGEOUS. I love how the entire courtyard is surrounded by beautiful greenery and pretty things that fly, seeming as if the hotel is in the midst of being overtaken by nature.”

“The Parker Guest House was an amazing addition to our SF trip! Perfect location. Cute rooms. But the staff is really where this small hotel shines. Would especially like to complement Thomas who was the kindest, friendliest, and most helpful person I’ve ever encountered in the hotel industry. Can’t say thank you enough.”

“I had a wonderful stay at the InterContinental San Francisco. The hotel is modern, clean, and perfectly located for both business and leisure. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. Jim from in-room dining went above and beyond to accommodate my requests and made the experience seamless and enjoyable. Dorian was also incredibly helpful, ensuring I had everything I needed before heading back to the airport. Their attention to detail and genuine care made my stay especially memorable. I would absolutely stay here again.”

“Property is centrally located. Very neat and clean rooms. The movie kiosk/ mini theater was a good experience. Pop corn was served during movie. Even the coffee/tea hall is splendid in nature. Best place for brewing.

The only thing which hit me hard is charging of house keeping charges while check out. No mention what so ever was made while check in process or even during the stay. The price of suite which seemed to be cheaper became a night mare. This incidence lost all my cool and happiness factor.
Rest it is the most ideal place for short picnic to San Francisco.”

“Close to bart, everyone that works there is extremely pleasant and helpful. Amenities are up to date and ran into zero issue. Wish there were more restaurant options though”

“An unforgettable stay!
The location, right in the middle of the park with Golden Gate views is absolutely spectacular. The hotel is beautifully designed, spotless, and peaceful. Staff are warm and welcoming. We loved the healthy breakfast, the cozy wine & cheese hour, and the all-day coffee & tea station. Truly a hidden gem in San Francisco! ??”

“It is what it is. Clean, good location, good value. But nothing fancy. The rooms are a little dated. The furniture is 20th century (including a clock radio with CD player). Carpet in our room was a little worn. Bed was a little bit hard with really flat pillows. But the place is well maintained. The area felt safe, although heard people yelling in the street in the middle of the night. Typical city sounds at night like sirens and street sweeper. It’s not high rise so will be close to street. The front desk is located in the first floor of the parking garage so we parked right by that. The location is good with some decent restaurants a 5 min walk away. No fitness center, pool or breakfast. There is a safe in the room, coffee maker, and iron. No fridge or microwave. Our room was spacious. The staff were all GREAT, from the front desk to housekeeping. Phat was especially helpful when we forgot some medication in our room.”

“Pretty decent stay with just a few issues for how much the hotel costs. Our room smelled with a strange odor the whole time. I assumed it would go away but it didn't. Also the bathroom is very nice and upgraded , but the shower head placement is terrible. It's at nose height (I'm average height), so you have duck in order to be under it. Employees are all very nice, but I wouldn't stay again unless addressed.”

“I picked the hotel because it was so close to The Castro Theatre where they’re doing their month long residency. The hotel was perfect. Easy to navigate with the contactless aspects”

“My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. It's a perfect place for anyone who appreciates Victorian style and historic charm. The furniture and decor were beautifully preserved — vintage throughout, yet everything was in excellent condition.

The room was spotless, the atmosphere was cozy and elegant, and the attention to detail made our stay especially enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help with anything we needed.

We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique, charming, and memorable place to stay. We would be happy to return in the future.”

“Beautiful and unique bed and breakfast serviced and operated by the one and only Sheila Rubinson! She welcomes you into her home and will give you a beautiful and interesting tour before showing you your room. Had a very comfortable short stay here and would definitely come back again. Other guests were very pleasant and I enjoyed the breakfast as well too, though not a lot of vegetarian or vegan options. Beautiful garden in the back as well.”

“Loved it here. Comfy and clean room, great location right by the Lombard & Filmore bus stop.
The staff was super nice, they even let us store our luggage after check out. And great value for the money!”

“We stayed here for two nights, and overall we really enjoyed our stay.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, the room was clean, and the interior was beautiful, featuring a charming vintage style. We would give this hotel 4.5 stars because, overall, it provided a wonderful sense of comfort and felt like a home away from home.

A few areas could be improved. The breakfast was quite limited and repetitive, with very little variety from day to day. Also, slippers were not provided in the room, which would have been a nice addition.

Overall, we had a pleasant experience”

“It has a sleek, modern interior and offers events like comedy shows or dj parties. Their cocktails are excellent, and each room has some really interesting and unique design features.”

“We were traveling with our two adult sons and a girlfriend for a long weekend. In order for everyone to be comfortable I was considering 2 rooms at a regular hotel or a place like this that allowed us to have 2 bedrooms plus a pullout couch and 2 bathrooms. It allowed my son and his girlfriend as well as our other son options. It also allowed all of us to be together in the same location instead of two hotel rooms. Plenty of room and this place exceeded expectations. The hotel made sure one room had two twin beds and one room had a king bed. perfect for our situation. You can also get it organized as two bedrooms both with king beds. It was essentially a large apt with a hallway, large modern kitchen and washer and dryer. Bedrooms each had their own beautiful bathrooms. Both bedrooms and living room all had views of Alcatraz and Bay. Pay for the view. 1000% worth it. Staff was extremely friendly. What you would expect paying for a place like this. I still claim based on what we got for the price was better than getting two regular rooms at another hotel. Noise was not a factor. The location is fantastic. Walkable to everything. Safe. The rooftop space with firepit is lovely. We used it. They gave us a sweet San Fran Frame, a personal note and a disposable camera to take photos for our memories. They had Nespresso on kitchen counter. Wine fridge. Wine for sale at hotel. Free expresso and water in the lobby. Plenty of games to play in the lobby. I would highly recommend if you want a memorable, 5 star experience and have a family you want to have all together. We arrived at 9 am (long before the 4pm check in) They allowed us to store luggage and we explored the city--went across golden gate bridge, etc. and got in room about 3pm. I believe it was available to us about 1pm and they texted to let us know. The only possible room for improvements - I wish they had a light free breakfast and wish they had regular coffee in the lobby. We did see a mouse in Ghirardelli chocolate factory right below our hotel room. Not shocking as hotel is historic and doors are generally open, but seeing it head into rafters in ceilings made me a little leery regarding our room although we did not have issues in our room. We did quietly notify the Ghirardelli staff so they knew and we let the hotel know since mouse was at ceiling level of wall. They responded right away and let us know they would let maintenance/cleaning staff know. They took it seriously. I did not expect anything of it, but had hoped when we asked if we could have late check out that they could accommodate. Based on looking at bookings that night on their hotel site it looked like our room was not sold. They offered to allow us to stay from 11am an hour longer to 12pm, but would charge us $200 per hour from 12pm to 4pm or $800. That was disappointing. I had hoped a free late checkout to 2 or 3pm as our flight home was in the evening. Not a big deal, but for the price felt it was an accommodation they could have offered and really made our day. Something to think about:-). overall I give it a 9 out of 10 and highly recommend. Thank you to all the staff!”

“This hotel is an exceptional value for the price. I knew from pictures it was an older motel-style hotel, but they've done a great job modernizing and equipping the rooms.

The hotel is in a safe, lively area with just about everything you need for a short or long stay. I'm in my 60s and was traveling alone and felt perfectly safe here. I walked everywhere and I'm so happy I chose this area rather than an overpriced, over-hyped hotel in the downtown area.

The hotel is quiet and the staff are all very friendly. I will stay here in the future and look forward to my next visit.”

“The Mayflower Hotel was wonderful. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable, the rooms were great, and the decor was beautiful. I love that they kept the 1920s vibe - especially the gated elevators - that was a treat!”

“I expected the location to be cool, which it is, and the pool to be fun, which it is. But the friendliness of the staff from the front desk to the cleaners impressed!”

“This was my second time staying here. It did not disappoint, as the rooms are high quality, relatively quiet, and with large bathtubs that fill with water very quickly. The only quibble was that the spa had a broken steam room, so I could not use that during my stay. Please be aware that the spa is only available if you book a treatment, so my massage was very good, but disappointing that the steam room was not working, plus no whirlpool at this hotel. The sauna was good. So far, nonetheless, this is the best hotel I have found to stay at in San Francisco, if you want a fairly peaceful vibe with a good bar in the lobby. I would likley stay there again, but I hope they fix their steam room next time. This is still NOT at the level of amazing 5-star properties elsewhere, like Post Oak in Houston, but it is still quite good.”

“what a place !!! parking is available. rooms are clean and the shower speed was amazing. you can hear people talking outside but otherwise, the facilities were modest and just about right to get you sorted with day travel.

the golden gate bridge is 6 mins away. plenty gorgeous sites in marina district.

the food options are plenty on chestnut street—a few blocks away.

the staff was kindly as well, brought me water bottles when they noticed i was too tired to go out. this visit has inspired us to explore more motels in the US.”

“We stayed at this hotel approximately 2 weeks ago and had an issue with check in. I left a review stating my frustrations and promptly received a call the next morning from the manager, Steve H. He listened to me without interruption, and at the end said he wanted to make it right and correct what had happened. I greatly appreciate his customer service and willingness to xontact me to see how the issue could be resolved.

As I stated in my original review, the hotel is in a great location, very close within walking distance to so many poular attractions. There were four of us staying in the hotel, so we made sure to book someplace that had free breakfast, and the breakfast was amazing! We would fill up each morning before we headed out to hit the city. Also, and added perk, all of the concierges were so helpful and knowledgeable.

Thank you IHG for the wonderful customer service in a world where that's not always the case. We will definitely be staying here again when we retun.

Happy Hoosier Family”

“Disappointing when you’re staying 2 1/2 weeks and someone is checking in for one night and they get a welcome bag AND a bottle of wine but you got nothing. Seems a bit odd.”

“Stayed here for one evening as it was centrally located to an appointment. The service was so kind and they have everything I need. The room and bed were comfortable, the bathroom amenities were nice, and it was quiet during the evening. I'm very appreciative to the front desk staff who assisted me - they offered things I needed and made a photocopy for me. The lounge next door was perfect when I just wanted to relax and get a quick bite. Will stay here again.”

“Love this motel! Stayed here with my family and was impressed by the spacious and clean rooms. The location was also great, with breakfast/coffee a few blocks away. The front desk was friendly and helpful. We will definitely book again.”
