Top Downtown North Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport

8/10 Good

"We are local residents and booked this hotel primarily to use the Topgolf Swing Suite. Unfortunately, we received conflicting information about its availability. In the evening, we were told it was closed, but the next morning we were informed that it only operates in the evenings. Since this was one of the main reasons for our stay, it was disappointing. The room itself was clean and comfortable, and the staff were generally friendly. However, there was only one set of towels in the room despite multiple guests on the reservation, which was inconvenient. Another downside was the expensive parking fee. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but clearer communication regarding the Swing Suite and better attention to room preparation would have improved our experience."

Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Parking lots while well lit were overcrowded. We compared this property to a Holiday Inn around the corner and chose it because the Holiday Inn listed parking costs while this property did not indicate there was a daily charge for parking. If we had known we would have saved some money and stayed in the other property, which also had free breakfast."

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The staff has a good customer service skills like Mona, Jennifer, & the other pilipino lady with glasses. They always got people cleaning, making sure the property is clean. When I use to order foods for delivery, they always call me & let me know that my orders arrived. Even if there were times there were spiders & WiFi isn't excellent, I like this property. There are cats around there which is ok because I love cats & it's by the water as well I just like the location because it's by the water & the sound of the airplane is relaxing. Even if there's no street lights by the golf course or before you even enter, I still like this location, but most of all, great customers service"
