8/10 Good

"Hotel itself was great, convenient to the airport. Front desk employee was a little rude. Breakfast was typical of hotel breakfasts, though no scrambled eggs or breakfast sausage or bacon."

Stanford Court San Francisco

Stanford Court San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Comfortable hotel ontop of the hill in central SF. Clean, spacious rooms and well serviced. A bit noisy if you are on the road side due to trams + cars. Great views of the city though as a compensation. Would recommend to others."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel lobby decor is outstanding. The seating area is beautiful. We had a ferry building and bay bridge close up view room on the 14th floor - we are local to the Bay area and had never seen views like that from a room before. Outstanding. Room was very comfortable. The only area for improvement, if there was one is the slow pace of the lift service. Other than that, it was a memorable stay."
