Top Downtown San Rafael Hotel Reviews

Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf

Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent
"I was visiting SF for a 2nd time and booked the same hotel, Hotel Caza, for numerous reasons from my last visit; great location, friendly service, comfortable & clean rooms. and great facilities (including things like milk and cookies you can pickup every evening beside reception) Again, the staff were always friendly, greeting me whenever I went out or came back in past reception. I asked for and was promptly delivered a mini fridge, whilst a small suppliment fot the week, pretty much a necessity based on the large portion sizes everywhere you eat. Ii used the pool facilities once during my stay, towels provided beside the pool and the loungers were all comfortable. My only "gripe" (and it's really nit picking) is the pool area can be quite windy at times. All in all I great stay and if/when I come back to SF I'll be sure to look to stay again at the hotel Caza.
