Top South Downtown Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Francisco Airport Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable room. Good location. Enjoyed the breakfast."

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I tend toward smaller hotels- this one was perfect for me. Friendly informative front desk. It has the winning unbeatable combination of location, views, cleanliness, quiet, and staff. Also I am a traditional person, I tend toward early American furniture ~ my room had a colonial bed frame and matching nightstands. The drapes were a gorgeous green with a modern sheen.. the drape layer and then layer of fine cream colored sheers ~ big closet, cute small galley kitchen with sink, refrigerator & microwave, and coffee maker ready.. the bathroom has both a tub and a large shower ~ very clean and shiny. Also the windows opened all the way for fresh air.. Yes, I’m a new Fan! Also their lobby is beautiful - great areas to sit inside and outside- bay view or city view, etc. felt like I was home ~ it was just right. I did the miss breakfast but coffee was great! It’s family owned, I love that part too! Thank you for being you! I’ll be back 🐦‍⬛🎶"

Grand Bay Hotel San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Overall nice hotel, nice rooms, good food. I booked rooms with breakfast for 1 (per room). Same rates same booking. The front desk seemed confused about it but after printing my booking off said it was ok. In the morning 2 breakfasts were covered and two only had $15 vouchers. Hotel staff were very unhelpful trying to sort it and said “it’s a third party booking you have to deal with them” and seemed satisfied with that. It’s been a week now and lots of back and forth with Expedia. Still unresolved. Will be considered a great stay overall if this breakfast is covered as it was advertised, booked and paid to be all included. But still the hassle is no fun."
