Top Chinatown Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly. Checking in and out was so easy and efficient!"

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

8/10 Good

"No breakfast on site, Gym in the basement? No on site parking, so we parked in the nearest garage, and used public transit, so we didn't have to pay higher parking rates. For breakfast, we did grab Noahs Bagels from a couple blocks away so that worked out. The business district looked and felt pretty safe. The rooms were not on the same floor, but our older kids didn't mind. The mini kitchenette and room layout was pretty good. They have a semi self serve check in/out, but it's still staffed with a helpful person. The bed was very firm, which is hard for me."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Decided to stay at this hotel based off of a TikTok video I seen in regards of the premium king room, top floor corner room for the immaculate view. I must say, it was beautiful. However, walking into my hotel room it was very small. Compared to the videos that I seen it looks much bigger however it was just for two for the night. Parking was included in my stay. The garage was secure. Elevators from garage take you straight to your floor into your hotel room. I love that part. We did not stay for breakfast. I’m not sure if it was free or a fee. There was a lot around us in walking distance so we did not have to drive. I would stay here again."

Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Fantastic location for our family of 5. We used it as our hub and ventured out around the city and down the coast to see many different sites. Hotel staff was extremely friendly and always helpful. Rooms were clean. We thought we would have a pull out couch and panicked when we didn’t but staff quickly brought us a roll away bed and the situation was fixed. Would recommend!"
