Top Polk Gulch Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was nice and breakfast was excellent! Lots of variety. Location next to the wharf and Ghirardelli Square is a plus, especially because you can take public transit (cable cars or bus) with a $15 day pass. This helps avoid egregious parking costs all over the city. Beware of the resort fee and also the parking at the hotel which is $55 + 14% per night! Beds were comfortable, though the pillows weren't great as is the case for most hotels."

Claremont Resort & Club

10/10 Excellent

"Parking is a bit pricey and it would be nice if there was at least a discount for overnight guests. Appreciate that there are plenty of water fountains to fill your own bottle with filtered water. Room was clean and very pretty, bathroom was humongous. Pool area was well maintained but there were not enough sun chairs for everyone on Saturday afternoon. This is the perfect little resort to come for a whole family wellness trip to swim, exercise and eat well."

Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a stunningly beautiful hotel. We took the little history tour and enjoyed the 3 course lunch. The location is excellent for the red bus tour from Union Square, all the high end stores, restaurants, and MOMA. Very comfortable beds and we got a kick out of the robes and slippers. Highly recommend!"
