Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great property excellent location. Love the breakfast service"

Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Very central to so many attractions. Fisherman’s wharf was less than 10min walk. Walgreens is just up the street. They give Oreo cookies with milk every night. I was able to send a complimentary postcard to a friend in NJ they paid the postage! We booked a Alcatraz tour the next day after check out and we were able to leave our car parked there until 6pm. My husband had medication that needed to be stored in a fridge and the front desk helped store it. The vintage bus stop to get to pier 33 Embarcadero was just a few steps away. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious. We would definitely come back!! "

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near the Regency Ballroom, where my event was taking place. In-and-out parking is appreciated, as is parking until 2pm day of check-out. The room was spotless and everything was in decent shape, except for the bathroom fan that rattled loudly. Loved having a coffee maker, but there was only sugar, no half & half (Mini Moos would be great; powdered whitener is icky). "
