Top Uptown Oakland Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Very good stay but no lotion in the room."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Great location, easy check-in with friendly staff, helpful self-service filtered water bottles and housekeeping amenities when you need it. Bed and bathroom great. Hallways, guest room furniture, and carpets were pretty worn down, but that is my only criticism. Overall, perfect for a quick overnight in the city!"

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and perfect for what we needed! It was a little stuffy in our room, but still very nice. Location was good, provided great access to lots of the city. Would recommend for your stay. Just be weary of walking alone in the neighborhood at night. Specifically, if you take public transport from the airport, I wouldn't walk alone with your luggage to the hotel at night. Regardless, still would recommend staying here!"
