Top San Rafael Hotel Reviews

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location, kind staff. Need to improve the smell in the hallways."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"When I booked this hotel I had my doubts, but after I arrived and went to my room , king bed very comfortable, pillow choices , firm or soft, nothing fancy, room clean, everything nice, had exactly what we needed and wanted for the 2 nights we stayed. Conveniently located to hop on the trolley, easy to get to the wharf. Parking at hotel easy , no complaints with that and reasonable price compared to many other places, since public transit is so easy to use there, when we go back, I will definitely stay at this hotel, but I won’t rent a car, there is no need to rent a car, we found out. Staff at hotel friendly. I gave our cleaning lady flowers for being so nice."

InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG

8/10 Good

"Old luxury hotel under construction with scaffoldings propped by the main entrance. There were clear signs of wear and tear, both and out of the hotel. The bed sheets had weird stains, but the cleaning staff replaced the sheets upon request."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms was cleaned, staff was great, breakfast was good."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

Fairmont San Francisco

Stanford Court San Francisco

"Great location and the room was quiet. Would stay again."

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great to walk to from the Giants game. The staff was very friendly and nice. It is a dated hotel. But it was worth the price."
