Top Aquarium of the Bay Hotel Reviews

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"This property has an excellent location. The Deluxe King was cleaned and very spacious. The restaurant Pescatore was superb, amazing French Toast and linguine with clams. Both staff at the restaurant and the front staff were warm and hospitable. Kudos to Joey at the front desk for her outstanding customer service!"

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"These were helpful services - valet, quick check-ins, 24/7 fresh brew to order coffee machines, large lobby sitting area, safe neighborhood and convenient location, clean and staff was very helpful. Breakfast was typical but one thing to improve not a killer was to have either have sausage or bacon - not chicken Patties. But I would stay here again and recommend this place."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"This is a huge, busy hotel. Our room was large, clean and properly equipped, if unexciting. Plastic and paper cups were a cheap touch but the towels were wonderful. There was no view. Our bar experience was disappointing, with only one working bartender and no table service for a rather large crowd. The breakfast was impressive with fresh fruit, eggs, sausage, pancakes and pastries. Even at 7 am it was crowded, although there was plenty of seating, by the time we left, all the tables looked to be taken. Great location for walking the Fisherman's Wharf area and walking distance to our cruise dock."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best hotel in SF. CLASSIC - thick solid walls, staircases, casement windows yet all the modern conveniences - wifi, smart tv, mini-fridge, etc. Family-owned since 1920’s and you can tell it’s lovingly-maintained. Friendly, efficient staff and enough of them! “Old-fashioned” service like bellpersons to fetch bags. Prime location 600 ft from Union Square and 250 feet from theatres. Easy valet parking and access to O’Farrell St without walking around the block. (I recommend Cafe Mason, around the corner, for breakfast or lunch). And it has an outdoor swimming pool!! Booking through Expedia, we not only got a much lower price, we got to-go breakfast boxes AND 20% off parking. The Handlery is my go-to spot for fun in SF!"

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great property. Great service. Beds were comfy, room quiet and clean, great amenities like Bevi water machines. close to everything in Fisherman’s Wharf/Pier 39/Ghiradelli. Easy to catch Muni and cable cars up the street. Great valet and security at night. Overnight valet is pricey but comparable to most hotels on the city. Will stay here again."

Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful vacation this year and Hotel Caza was a big part of it. We were so happy with our room and the staff was amazing! This hotel is clean and the bed was so comfortable. The lobby is family friendly lots of room to relax and play games I didn’t swim but the pool is very nice also. So close to everything, we didn’t even need a car. We will definitely stay here again!"
