10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Club Quarters Hotel Embarcadero, San Francisco

8/10 Good

"This is a good hotel in a convenient location. I took public transit into the city, so I have no idea on the parking situation. I needed to go to the Ferry Building and it's a short walk. The place was clean, modern and in good shape I'd stay here again."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"I've been staying at this hotel about six times a year for work over the past three years, and I absolutely love it! The location is amazing, and the gym is fantastic—definitely one of the highlights of the hotel. After so many visits, it remains my go-to hotel whenever I'm in town. Always a great experience, and I highly recommend it!"
