"I had a great staying at this hotel. The staff were friendly, and very helpful. The front desk gentlemen made a great suggestion to get their breakfast and snack buffet. That was so worth it, and the food and snack were fresh and pretty tasty. I would be coming back to this hotel."

Half Moon Bay Lodge

8/10 Good
"We traveled and stayed overnight with my family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) and had plenty of room in the queen suite. The staff was friendly, check-in was easy, and the breakfast was good! The only two negatives were our room was a bit stuffy so sleeping was a little uncomfortable and the walls are a little thin as I could hear the person above us snoring."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

Handlery Union Square Hotel

8/10 Good
"Very clean hotel with a great location right near Union Square. The good: Clean, location, friendly staff. The bad: Parking fee is expensive (use the parking garage less than a block away instead), some of the rooms are pretty small, the pool is small, and the sauna requires a reservation. The meh: rooms are "outdated" (I liked it, but some people prefer more modern fixtures), and there seems to be quirky rules for accessing certain amenities (see sauna above). Overall: If its reasonably priced compared to other hotels nearby, I think this one is a safe bet."

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

10/10 Excellent
"My partner and I enjoyed our stay at Hotel Nikko. Overall, it was a 4-4.5/5 star experience. The property was well maintained and the rooms were overall quite nice. The 1st floor japanese restaurant was nice- we enjoyed the small plates they offered. The hotel lobby on the first floor was nice as well. The 5th floor sauna, workout room and pool/spa area are definite highlights! A few things: the elevators can be a bit confusing to use at first (the card tapping function on the call button is unintuitive), and they can be a bit of a lengthy wait. Also, they charge a $39 daily amenity fee (tax plus fees brings it to $45/day)- so be advised this is not a budget friendly hotel by any means. In all, this was a nice place to stay in downtown SF. Would stay here again in the future should other options prover costlier."
