Handlery Union Square Hotel
We booked this hotel because of the pool but it was out of order for our stay. The rooms were cramped. AC didn’t work. Would not recommend

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
We loved this hotel. It was close to Fisherman’s Wharf and many restaurants and attractions. It’s also not far from the cruise terminal if you are going on a cruise from San Francisco. The breakfast is excellent. High quality buffet with many choices. Delicious food!

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.
