Moscone Center

W San Francisco
4.3/5135 Reviews

W San Francisco

South of Market (SOMA) San Francisco|0.13km from Moscone Center
I used to be a frequent guest at the W SF back when it was Starwood but had not visited since Marriott took over the W Brand. I did try and stay last year but before arriving I read that the restaurant was closed and I asked the hotel what they were doing as an alternative, but they had absolutely nothing for Platinum Breakfast (other than 1k points per stay which is a HUGE downgrade), so I opted for another hotel. I had high expectations for this stay as I had previously loved this hotel, but as a frequent traveler in Marriott brands and having one of their Highest Elite traveler statuses (and staying at W Brands lately), I knew service levels were still suffering post pandemic. Unfortunately, it started low right from the beginning. I had confirmed a Studio Suite in advance. When I arrived, I was given a corner room that almost seemed smaller than standard rooms (Room 2109). I inquired about upgrades to larger rooms, and I was told no, because it was a busy weekend, and nothing would be available. I checked on the app and saw that every room type was available for the length of my stay and beyond. I was basically DOWNGRADED. Once settling into the room, then I realized the major issues. Smaller rooms should be easier to clean, right? Well, this one not only had carpet stains, but I quickly found out that the ”Marriott Commitment to Clean” was actually a Commitment to Ignore. Not only were their stains on the carpet and dust and dirt in the windowsills, I found a previous guest's room keys sitting on the counter. Obviously, the room was just ”re-set” and not inspected or cleaned at all. I guess the promised sanitizing was out of the question. We then went to get some ice and noticed that the ice bucket was half filled with standing water. It was disgusting! Thats not the worst part, I then found a pair of women's ”play-style” lingerie slightly soiled sitting on the floor by the sofa. I mentioned the cleanliness issues to the Front Desk, but the representative simply stared at me and then asked if there was anything else I needed? I should have been a bit more insistent that they take it down, but I was so shocked I did not. The room setup, although smaller than what I wanted and pre-confirmed, was also not great. There is no storage at all other than the closet. There are no drawers at all or other places to keep clothes or anything else. If you have two suitcases, you are going to have to keep them out as there is no place to put them in the closet. Other than the Front Desk and Room Condition, we had a nice stay, although the Room is really what we paid for. The rest of the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. The breakfast staff were great, and the food was amazing! Kudos for them for sure! Actually, the only place I was every recognized or thanked for being a Marriott Elite was from the hostess at Breakfast. The bellhop was also quite nice and helpful when we checked-out and needed to store lugga

Chinatown

Hotel North Beach
3.9/5137 Reviews

Hotel North Beach

San Francisco Downtown San Francisco|0.25km from Chinatown
This was the cheapest non hostel, private room hotel I could find in San Francisco. It's much better than other reviews suggest. I was pleasantly surprised. Room quite modern looking (better than the photos, off white wooden flooring) Clean. No bad smell at all. I stayed in a single room that was small, but I've stayed in smaller in Times Square NYC before so no big deal. Single bed was on the big side for a single. Very comfy. I slept so good. Cleaners never came but I was only there 2 nights. The shared bathroom was in good condition. I didn't see one other guest in my 2 nights there. Just some food delivery people dropping to reception.The local area isn't bad. I only see a couple of dodgy people outside. It's in Chinatown which isn't a bad area. Reception has CCTV and a night security guard. Honestly, if you are a solo traveller here you'll feel safe. Little donut/cafe/coffee shop next door to get breakfast. 20 minute walk to Pier 33 (Alcatraz), 1.5 hour walk to Golden Gate Bridge (or $17 Uber). I'm happy I found this place, I need my own privacy when travelling and this was perfect. I'd recommend for solo travellers for sure. Oh and dead silent of a night. I'm writing this from a motel in Monterey and the noise here made me appreciate just how quiet Hotel North Beach was. Just don't expect luxury but honestly, it's not a dump. It's a clean room of your own, safe and quiet. I've given it a 4 not a 5 because it's not perfect but certainly adequate.
Grant Plaza Hotel
4/561 Reviews

Grant Plaza Hotel

San Francisco Downtown San Francisco|0.36km from Chinatown
Stayed here for 2 nights and was pleasantly surprised. Prices are quite affordable considering it's in San Francisco. The location was great. I booked this hotel in particular primarily because of its rather close proximity to the BART station. It is indeed only a 10-minute walk from Montgomery station, although if you're arriving from the airport be prepared to drag your bags uphill. The hotel is smack dab in the middle of Chinatown in a rather busy area. I never felt unsafe here, whether evening or early morning, as there are always people milling about minding their own business. If you like walking, you can journey to Fisherman's Wharf within 30 minutes on foot, which is what I did. You can also walk in the opposite direction toward Westfield and Target if you like to shop. There are several bus stops and tram lines nearby. As for the room, it was small but didn't feel cramped. There's no air-conditioning but it was rather chilly in July so I had no issues with heat. No problems with the shower either. Checking in and out were a breeze. I was even able to order food through GrubHub (because most restaurants in that area close at 8 pm even on weekends, which I found out the hard way!) I suppose my only complaint would be that you can definitely hear your neighbors at all times. I could hear someone stomping on the floor above, and sometimes I'd get noise from the rooms adjacent to mine. I was able to sleep just fine, though, as the bed was really comfortable. I'd changed my hotel to this one at the last minute and I'm glad I did. Apart from the occasional noise, I had a lovely stay.

Elite Inn
2.9/510 Reviews
San Francisco Downtown
Hotel location is good, not far from the subway station, cable car station, Union Square, but there are a lot of black people nearby, rude behavior, giving people a sense of insecurity, travel must be careful. The room has a microwave and refrigerator for your convenience. But the entire building and the room were very poorly ventilated and stinking. The service is very poor. If you don't pay attention, the service staff will yell, the deposit fee is too high, and a baggage fee is 30 yuan. The impression is too bad. You will not visit this hotel again.
Seaside Inn
4/542 Reviews
Marina District
Amazing value central hotel, clean and well appointed. We stayed here for 3 nights over the Spring Break weekend. The hotel is a motel style with your own door. We found space in the car park easily. The amenities are good. The beds comfortable. The room was super clean. Housekeeping came every day to replenish towels etc. The location is great. 10 mins walk to Fort Mason and 15 20 mins to Fishermans Wharf. The location felt safe. It's also on the Big Bus tour route, which was handy for us and I would recommend. There is no breakfast here despite the TripAdvisor photo! It didnt matter to us there are lots if fantastic places to eat in SF. We will definitely stay again.
Kasa la Monarca San Francisco
3.8/553 Reviews
San Francisco Downtown
This hotel is under new management so we couldn't see many reviews before booking but it was a great experience! the self check-in was a breeze (we received all the info in an email) and our room was nice and clean. The room is cozy but normal size for SF and if we needed a little more space we just went down to the lobby lounge area. There was wifi in the room and in the lobby area. The kitchen was super convenient to make a quick breakfast. We didn't use the washer/dryers but if we stayed longer we probably would have. We could walk to Union Square and there is also a Trader Joe's a couple blocks away. It was a perfect place to stay for a couple of nights!

South of Market (SOMA)
We came into the city for a Giants versus Dodgers game at Oracle Park. This funky little hotel was within a long walk’s distance, just over a mile, and had parking $20 cheaper than the stadium! Our room was clean but we had to ask for a second bath towel and there was no decaf coffee available in room, but we could get some for breakfast downstairs. We appreciated the carport which was dated overnight and the staff was super friendly. We would stay there again for a quick visit.

Hotel Union Square San Francisco
3.7/51 Reviews
San Francisco Downtown
My parents and I enjoyed our stay at HUS. The staff were enthusiastic and helpful. They have an option where they can send you text messages to check up on you. The room was clean and organized. I would agree with other reviews that there was a slight smell to the room, probably because the building is so old. Nonetheless, the hotel was a good value for the money and the location was great! We bought the parking package online that included valet parking, which helped save us 50% of the parking costs. When parking, there are a few curbside spaces right in front of the hotel off of Powell St. We didn't know if we could drive onto Powell St., since the public transit rail goes right through the street, but yes, we are allowed to drive onto that street. Also, the hotel stay required us a $100 deposit that gets refunded when we finish our stay without causing damage.

More About San Francisco

San Francisco: A Fusion of Culture and Innovation

Perched on the tip of a peninsula in the U.S. state of California, San Francisco is a vibrant city celebrated for its iconic landmarks, diverse neighborhoods, and innovative spirit. Did you know that San Francisco is the birthplace of the United Nations and the Fortune Cookie? The city's multi-faceted history and vibrant ambiance make it a must-visit destination.

Journey to San Francisco

San Francisco International Airport serves as the main gateway for international visitors. Various transportation modes, including taxis, shuttles, and the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), connect the airport to the city. Visa requirements depend on your nationality, so it's crucial to check ahead.

The official currency is the U.S. Dollar, and credit cards are widely accepted. English is the main language, but San Francisco's diversity means you'll hear a myriad of languages. An interesting tradition in the city is the "Sunday's Streets" events where neighborhoods transform into car-free spaces for community activities.

Iconic Attractions in San Francisco

The Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and Fisherman's Wharf are quintessential San Francisco sights. Explore the culturally-rich Chinatown, or wander around the colorful Victorian homes in Haight-Ashbury. Art enthusiasts should visit the Museum of Modern Art, while nature lovers can relax in Golden Gate Park.

San Francisco's Climate and the Ideal Time to Visit

San Francisco experiences a Mediterranean climate with cool, damp winters and dry summers. The city is known for its microclimates, so temperatures can vary across neighborhoods. Typical summer temperatures range between 57°F (14°C) and 70°F (21°C). The best time to visit is from September to November. Carry layers, as San Francisco's famous fog can cause sudden temperature drops.

San Francisco Accommodation: Find Your Perfect Stay

For proximity to attractions, Hotel Zephyr at Fisherman’s Wharf is an excellent choice. If culinary exploration is a priority, Hotel Nikko in the Tenderloin district is surrounded by diverse dining options.

The HI San Francisco Downtown Hostel is a budget-friendly choice, while business travelers may opt for the Four Seasons Hotel in the Financial District for comfort and convenience.
