Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Was a decent stay. Large room. Decent hotel"

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Julian was excellent! The rooms were spacious and clean. There was minimal wear and tear in the rooms but generally, it was a good place to stay. I enjoyed their onsite restaurant/bar along with their complimentary wine hour. Staff was helpful and very nice. The location is also good, located near many places to eat and drink."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Decent hotel in a very convent location for many downtown SF attractions. The hotel is on a quiet street but close to the Tenderloin and Polk street actions. Customer Service was nice and average, rooms were clean and simple, and the hotel seemed to be well maintained. I liked being able to open the windows for fresh air. Parking can be difficult but there are garages nearby."
