Top Chinatown Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Hilton Hotels is the best you ever go nice and clean."

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

8/10 Good

"Pro: We were given a free upgrade. Con: There was a roach in our free upgrade so we had to move rooms and then had to move rooms again. Pros: Nice view. Free breakfast had boiled eggs and a toaster. And waffles, which I'm not a huge fan of but other people really love waffles. Cons: The rest of free breakfast was low-quality pastries. TLDR: Good for price."

The Pickwick Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here during tech week and it was literally the perfect spot. Could use some updating but i was there to work and came back to room to sleep. Staff was really helpful and let me check in early even though no rooms were available he made sure the next one was ready for me. Will be staying here again."
