Top Northern California Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location on the water, tucked away for privacy."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in an excellent location just a few steps from Union Square, the cable car stop, and the BART train station, not to mention all the clothing stores and food options around it. The room was clean and very comfortable with a refrigerator inside, and I really liked the free cookies, apples, and water in the lobby. However, the service from the lobby staff could be improved, as they misplaced my small suitcase and only found it after checking three times. Management should improve staff training so they follow protocols and do not affect customers. I would stay at the hotel again, but I would be careful with the lobby staff."

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place"

Outbound Mammoth

8/10 Good

"Clean room"

Grand Hyatt San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel! Right in Union Square. Beds were very hard and pillows kind of sucked. But overall the rooms were nice and very clean. We were on the 29th floor which was a cool view Parking is horrible and because we have a bigger truck they couldn’t valet it and had no idea how to help us and just kind of left us to figure it out, Thankfully we found ONE garage down the street that took bigger vehicles (thanks ChatGPT for finding it)."

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect! The room, the property, the restaurant"
