Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG
Very convenient location. Lovely corner room view. Reasonably priced. We walked almost everywhere, incl Fisherman's Wharf, for dinner. (It's an uphill walk back...)

Handlery Union Square Hotel
The staff at this hotel is amazing. The only downside is the pool was undergoing maintenance. Otherwise, the hotel is in a perfect location for all your travel needs.

YOTEL San Francisco
Overall my stay was perfect. From the location of the property, to the amenities of the hotel. The only thing that needed is more attention to the cleanliness of the room. From hair on the bedding, to dirty hand prints on the walls, or spillage on the bedrails.

Hotel Julian
The restaurant/bar Carlotta's was closed for the season and it wasn't mentioned anywhere on the website. It was the main reason we chose this hotel over others. Nothing special without Carlotta's.
