Top Alameda Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

8/10 Good

"The property as a whole is clean, but needs to be updated…. The stay is very friendly and welcoming and the bedding was OK. Whoever owns this property has a gem if they update the property…. It felt like I was in the 70’s"

Stanford Court San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Along with neighbors The Mark Hopkins and the The Fairmont, The Stanford Court is of San Francisco’s great old hotels atop Nob Hill. Great location, good value-for-money, but now with lots of “nickel & dime” charges like $50 for early check-in and without a doubt the strangest, most convoluted and complicated charges for breakfast this road warrior has ever experienced. Still I would return to The Stanford Court."

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at the Hilton Financial District in San Francisco and honestly had an amazing experience from start to finish. The location is perfect — close to Chinatown, North Beach, the waterfront, and super easy to get around the city from here. The hotel itself felt clean, modern, and well maintained, but what really stood out was the staff. Everyone was welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout the stay. The room had incredible city views, was quiet at night, and the bed was extremely comfortable after long days exploring San Francisco. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the overall atmosphere felt upscale without being pretentious. You can tell this hotel is run properly. Between the service, cleanliness, location, and overall experience, I’d absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco."
