Top Northern California Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Reasonably clean and comfortable for the location (Fisherman's Wharf) and great free breakfast selection. Good for travelers with young kids based on walking distance to attractions and transit close by."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A nice, quaint hotel that has been around for many years and is close to Union Square and public transportation. We enjoyed staying there as we have in the past, although it that was before Covid. Our stay was made even more pleasurable by the Concierge, Judi, who helped us use a Waymo for the first time and also got us a reservation at Tadich when there were no tables showing available on Open Table. The staff were very friendly and eager to help when asked, even if it wasn't necessarily their job. I mistook one of the security personnel for a bellman, but he helped me with the luggage cart anyway. Parking was in a separate building but easy to get to and retrieval of our car was quick and easy. We would definitely stay there again."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The lobby area is very welcoming, natural looking with lots of wood, windows, lots of outdoor sunlight. The rooms are spacious and well decorated. The hotel is in an excellent location, walking distance to the Old Fisherman’s Warf. Check-in was a little difficult as they couldn’t find the 4 rooms I reserved under my name until it was mentioned that it was booked through Expedia. Also, one of the rooms was not ready until 8 pm even though Expedia said that check in is at 4 pm. The rep mistakenly said that check-in period is from 4 pm - 6 pm. How can it be so late? My daughter and her husband had to get ready to attend a wedding and fortunately, we had another room available for them to use. The hotel graciously comped us for the parking. Other than that, the hotel was excellent and would stay there again."
