Hilton San Francisco Financial District

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent
"Great location, very comfortable room with enough space and a great view of the city looking toward Coit tower and a small bit of the bay. Shower pressure was amazing and we loved having a bath. Also loved the Cloud room to watch the sports and the kids loved the gaming comouter. Would definitely stay here again. "
