Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Room: B The hotel room was a decent size with 2 queen beds and a little sitting area with a couch. The bed was a little firm to my liking and my wife noticed the left side had a little dip. The air conditioning was a little loud, but luckily we are heavy sleepers. The TV only had a few channels but we didn’t really spend a lot of time in the room. It was comfortable enough for a few nights stay. Amenities: A The toiletries were standard, the gym was small (weights maxed at 50lbs, cardio machines, and a broken cable machine), and the pool was nice for when the sun came out briefly. Parking is a bit tight if you have a tall car so make sure it’s under 6ft. Very average I would say for most of the amenities. BUT the best part of the hotel was the breakfast buffet. A FULL breakfast - bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns, pancakes, bagels, pastries, deli meats, fruits, granola, oatmeal, cereals, coffee, juices, several milk choices, and even toasters for the bagels/bread - made it worth it. Not having to worry about feeding my family in the morning made it so much easier to start our day off right. That alone made my overall stay a good one."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The stay at this hotel was second to none in every category. The staff was very friendly and very professional and they went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as good as possible. Maria was very kind and friendly and I highly recommend that someone recognize her as the best agent on the staff. The concierge was very helpful and she was extremely nice handling all of our concerns and information about the city. The hotel restaurant was excellent and the hostess was a very kind person. I’m very grateful for their hospitality and attitude towards the guests who are staying in their hotel."

YOTEL San Francisco

8/10 Good

"The “smart” room needs some tweaks. I was unable to shut off the main light in the room because there were no instructions. I literally scoured the internet for instructions but no go. Found out i the morning that I had to press the dimmer switch twice - not sure how I was supposed to know that! Room was small but space was used efficiently. Smart bed was cool. Towel heater didn’t work. Location is convenient but it’s a rough neighborhood that may put some people off. Would stay again now that I know how to turn off the damn light"
