Top Canal Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great free breakfast-good variety and quality. Proximity to Oracle Park(less than a block) and many restaurants and night spots in easy walking distance. Disappointed they ended their valet parking service, which is useful in this area. However they found us a spot in their small self parking garage and we appreciated the staff’s helpfulness and problem solving attitudes. We’ll definitely stay there for future visits to Oracle Park and SF."
