Top University of California Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was very very good."

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

8/10 Good

"The reason for 4 stars in an otherwise great hotel is that the bathroom doors in our room were not staying shut because the spring on the door was broken. Upon confirming that it could not be fixed, we were allotted a different room. The front desk was really helpful in getting this sorted, kudos to them. I am taking away the one star for the inconvenience we faced."

The Hotel Castro San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"It was. a lovely stay. Hotel was clean and beautiful but a bit quiet given no human staff were present. It was still cool aside from the quietness"

The Metro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, Lovely staff"

Twin Peaks Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very interesting stay. I would call it one step up from a hostel. Only because you had to share a bath and water closet. I would imagine female guests would balk at that , but I didn't have an issue. $90 a night far better that the $497 up the street. Just wish the rooms were a tad larger."

Casa Loma Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall it was quite good and acceptable for a few days of stay. It also is situated in a good neighborhood and close to stores, restaurants and some touristy places. The beds are comfortable and the staff was helpful too A few other things: the Wi-Fi is quite unstable and not very fast, the streets beside the hotel can get very noisy if one goes to sleep early or wakes up late and there also seems to be low water pressure in the sink and shower"

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

8/10 Good

"If you are driving through San Francisco, this well-located motel is very convenient. Clean & simple. Ample room. Walk to Clement St. for great food options."
