Top Chinatown Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was great! Clean. Very polite staff. Felt safe in their parking garage and felt secure with my vehicle. Workout room was busy. Maybe a bigger gym would be nice. Restaurant looked appealing though didn’t get to try it. Pool also looked awesome too but didn’t prepare with swim trunks. Price is excellent for the experience. Would come again"

Handlery Union Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location Union square.. lots of nearby things to do. You can pick up thr hop on hop off buss..5 minute walk. The cable car stop at the same location..it was a very maintained hotel. However no restaurant or bar or food of any kind. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone."

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"If you're into plane watching, this is a great escape. With a view of the Bay and the approach to SFO, one could not ask for better. Nice big comfortable beds, nice little snack bar and... the morning breakfast was just perfect for our needs. That's why we keep coming back!"
