Top Bay Area Discovery Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

6/10 Okay

"Awful rude unhelpful staff. Very comfy bed and clean room. Breakfast ok."

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

2/10 Terrible

"I stayed at Hilton Financial District in San Francisco with my family of four. We arrived around midday, and I do appreciate that the staff accommodated an early check-in by 1:30 PM, which was helpful after travel. However, I was quite surprised and disappointed to learn that our booking (made through Expedia) did not guarantee rooms on the same floor. As we were traveling with children, this was an important consideration for us. At check-in, we were informed that if we wanted rooms on the same floor, we would need to pay an additional fee. This put us in a difficult position, and we felt compelled to pay extra to ensure our family could stay close together. It was frustrating, as this was not clearly communicated during the booking process, and it reduced the value of booking through Expedia. Overall, while the staff were courteous, I would strongly recommend that families confirm room arrangements in advance and that the hotel (or booking platforms) be more transparent about such policies."

The Lodge at Tiburon

4/10 Poor

"Our room when we walked in smelled like a wet towel. The hotel has REALLY gone down hill. There is no way they should be charging a resort fee. No help with parking. No ice machine. No towels by pool. It feels like a motel. Went to take a shower and the water smelled like fish. I called and asked to speak to a manager. They told me that the manager said they would call me the next day. Was afraid to even brush my teeth. The AC units are dinosaurs. Every time they kicked on I was woken up. Super, super loud. Sad. Love the town and this hotel use to be our go to. But, save your money."

Marina Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We usually stay downtown when we visit SF in large 3.5-4 star hotels so I wasn't sure if I'd feel safe here with just me and my young son, but we were going to an event at the Palace of Fine Arts and it was walking distance so took a chance. Adorable place, felt like I was living in a mini city apartment in a great neighborhood for the weekend. The kitchenette was more than I expected, was actually a full little kitchen with a little corner table. A door separated it from the sleeping area so could get up early and have coffee in a sunny kitchen. The "bedroom" barely fit the 2 full beds in it but it was comfortable. Everything was clean. Convenient shopping and restaurants a block up. Be aware you need to go up a full flight of stairs to get to any room. Wasn't an issue for us but it wasn't really clear when we booked it so could surprise someone that needed more accessible access. Staff is super nice, although don't expect them to be super in the know about the area/SF-I mentioned Bay to Breakers and the girl at the front had no idea what I was talking about lol. Marina is a great neighborhood to explore though. Perfect place if you're looking for a local SF vibe."

Cow Hollow Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in a fantastic location! The room was very spacious, and having parking so close to Lombard Street was a big plus. There were plenty of dining options nearby, making it easy to find something good to eat at any time. Overall, it’s a great place to stay if you’re looking to explore San Francisco. Would definitely recommend!"

Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, and staff! The location is centrally located, and walking distance from everything. There is a restaurant right next door- Poggio - which will not let you down, and you can charge your food to the room. The grounds are well maintained and rooms are kept clean. Negatives? Parking is across the street and there is no room service. Yes, the hotel is located on a main street, but honestly, not a busy street"
