Top Portola Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in a good location in the city. It is in a good location for walking distance of many things to do on the wharf."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, 9 out of 10 for the overall stay and experience with found hotel Carlton. Property was adjacent to everything that I was doing in the city, outside streets were decently kept, did not feel unsafe or threatened at any time. Hotel lobby and hotel is being monitored 24/7 by hotel, staff, and after hours by a security guard, which was a nice added touch to see. Rooms were very comfortable, showers were awesome, bathrooms were clean, bed was comfortable, noise level was not bad, the only thing you can hear depending on how good you hear is other room doors, opening and closing. Overall, I will definitely stay with this hotel again when I’m in town, super easy and affordable and a great stay!"
