Stanford Court San Francisco
Staying at Stanford Court San Francisco was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—perched on a hilltop, it’s quiet and peaceful, with zero noise or disturbances from the street. Right outside the front door is a perfect photo spot, and just across the intersection, there’s a kiosk where you can grab a one-day Muni pass—super convenient for exploring the city. The service was outstanding; staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to hand over bottled water at the lobby, and they even provided two bottles upon check-in—such a thoughtful touch. I really hoped for a room upgrade, but even without it, the experience was flawless. If I ever return to San Francisco, this hotel will be my first choice. It’s a fantastic blend of comfort, convenience, and charm—highly recommend!
Galleria Park Hotel
Staying at Galleria Park Hotel in downtown San Francisco was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, the elegant lobby set the tone for a wonderful experience. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—always with a smile and ready to assist. What truly stood out was the rooftop garden on the fourth floor, complete with walking paths perfect for a morning stroll or a quick jog. As someone who’s a bit cautious about downtown safety, having this peaceful green space right within the hotel was a game-changer. It made me feel secure and relaxed throughout my stay. Every detail—from the thoughtful design to the attentive service—exceeded expectations. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, this hotel offers an unbeatable combination of comfort, location, and tranquility. I’ll definitely be returning.
The Clift Royal Sonesta San Francisco
Staying at The Clift Royal Sonesta San Francisco was an absolute delight. The room was spotless, comfortably furnished, and recently renovated—everything felt fresh and modern. Located right in the heart of downtown, it's incredibly convenient for exploring the city on foot. I loved how close it was to shops, restaurants, and attractions. The breakfast spread was excellent—diverse options with great quality, from fresh pastries to hearty continental fare. The on-site bar is a real gem: stylish, cozy, and perfect for unwinding after a long day. Plus, having complimentary bottled water available throughout the stay was a thoughtful touch. Every detail felt well-considered, making this hotel a standout choice. If you're visiting San Francisco, this is definitely one to consider.
Hotel Kabuki, Part of Jdv by Hyatt
The location is excellent—just a short walk to downtown San Francisco and surrounded by great restaurants and shops. While the bathroom is on the smaller side, the room was clean, well-maintained, and had a nice modern touch. The staff were friendly and helpful, and overall, the experience lived up to the Jdv by Hyatt standard. Great value for the price, and I’d definitely stay here again.
Hotel Via
Staying at Hotel Via was a solid experience overall. The room was comfortable, clean, and well-maintained—bedding was cozy and the space felt welcoming. That said, parking costs $75 per night, which is quite steep, especially since there aren’t many nearby parking options. In San Francisco, renting a car isn’t always practical—public transit, walking, or rideshares are usually more convenient. The view from the window isn’t much to write home about (just another building across the street), but for travelers focused on location and ease of access, this is still a good option. The hotel sits in a central area, making it easy to get around town without hassle. If you’re looking for a no-frills, reliable stay with great accessibility, Hotel Via delivers value without breaking the bank.
My Rosegarden Guest Rooms
Staying here for two nights was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—quiet street but just a short walk from the Presidio, making morning strolls absolutely peaceful and refreshing. We booked a lovely top-floor room with great natural light and a comfortable layout. Our hostess, Kathleen, was warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Each morning, she served a delicious and thoughtfully prepared breakfast that added to the cozy charm of the stay. After checking out, we realized we’d left behind a pair of earbuds. I reached out to Kathleen, and although they couldn’t find it right away, she had her team check thoroughly. Later, we got a message saying they’d found it in the laundry—and even shipped it back to us! That kind of care and attention to detail goes way beyond what you’d expect. It’s not just about comfort or cleanliness; it’s about hospitality with heart. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.
Citizenm San Francisco Union Square
Staying at citizenM San Francisco Union Square was a fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Union Square, with popular spots like Heytea within easy reach. BART and multiple bus lines are conveniently located nearby, making it super easy to explore the city. I did notice some people experiencing homelessness in the area, but they were non-confrontational and didn’t affect my stay negatively. The hotel itself is sleek and modern, with bright, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and fast Wi-Fi. It’s a great value for the quality and convenience. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco.
Beck's Motor Lodge
Staying in the quieter back section of the property was a perfect choice—serene, peaceful, and completely free from any noise. The room itself was incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed and just the right amount of space. It's also super convenient for getting into downtown San Francisco via public transit. The overall experience exceeded expectations, and I’d definitely book again. A hidden gem with great value!
The Inn at Union Square
This was my favorite hotel of the entire trip to the USA! The place is incredibly clean and quiet—perfect for a good night's sleep. It definitely feels like it’s been recently renovated, with modern amenities throughout. The breakfast spread was fantastic, with fresh fruit that actually tasted like fruit (a rarity in some hotels!). Located right in downtown San Francisco, it’s just a short walk to the cable car stop—super convenient for getting around. The immediate neighborhood is well-maintained and safe, which made me feel comfortable walking around even in the evening. That said, a few blocks back, things get rougher—there are more homeless people and messier streets—but the hotel’s entrance and surrounding area are secure and tidy. Overall, an excellent choice for travelers who value cleanliness, location, and comfort. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
Chapter San Francisco
Staying at Chapter San Francisco was a fantastic experience. The hotel is impeccably clean and conveniently located near a major thoroughfare, making it easy to get around the city. I especially appreciated the luggage storage area and the cozy lounge—perfect for relaxing before check-in or waiting for my airport transfer. The ambiance is modern and welcoming, with thoughtful touches throughout. It’s clear the team cares about guest comfort. Highly recommend this gem for travelers looking for style, convenience, and a peaceful vibe.
Dakota Hotel
We stayed in Glasgow for a few days and stopped by this hotel for breakfast—had no expectations going in, but was pleasantly surprised. The menu options were somewhat limited, but the warm welcome and excellent service from Thomas made all the difference. He went above and beyond to make our morning special. It’s a hidden gem with a welcoming vibe, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone passing through.
