Top hotels in Civic Center

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

Handlery Union Square Hotel
I don’t believe the room was worth the price.

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
Really lovely stay here! Great location, lovely staff and comfortable rooms. The downsides are that there was a broken hook in our room so we couldn’t hang clothes during our showers, and there was a metal part of the bed sticking out, so when I got out of bed it cut my leg.

YOTEL San Francisco

Hilton San Francisco Union Square
For the cost of the breakfast I would have liked to have a bigger spread. The limited menu was not worth the price tag.

Listing said breakfast included however they only offered muffins and coffee. They said they did not have eggs and yogurt during our stay.
