Club Quarters Hotel Embarcadero, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, helpful staff, clean room, delicious breakfast!"

Hotel Julian

8/10 Good

"Rooms are clean, front staff extremely professional and sweet. I shipped a package earlier in the week and pickup was a breeze. We felt very safe getting out our uber at night. Despite the street outside being clean, everything else in the area are not (even just down the block). However our biggest headache was the extremely thin walls. We could audibly hear our neighbour's casual conversation early in the morning, and the hotel courtyard started blasting music at 11am - so loud that we could not hear the music we were playing on our TV"
