Top Novato Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"No complaints. Good decent stay for the weekend."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

8/10 Good

"I was shunted to this hotel because of a scheduling mixup, and I didn’t appreciate having to pay $45 just to be able to park. With the hotel being out on in the marina, there was zero possibility of parking anywhere else unless I wanted to take a cab to my room. I also was annoyed that, despite what the website says, there is no room service. I love the warm cookies on check in and the space was lovely. The room was clean and spacious and I got a lovely view of the sunset. I couldn’t quite work out the TV in the room, (there seemed to be a number of “hotel” channels that didn’t go anywhere) but my WiFi was good. And I don’t like them saying Breakfast is available, when it says “for a fee” below that. Might as well say EVERYTHING is available. Could have been worse, but for the upsell I expected more."

Hotel G San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel! Close to Union square. Hotel was clean, but our rooms were facing a wall (no view) so it was darker and felt different compared to the photos online. You receive a $20 voucher for breakfast buffet, but it was really basic/there was no warm food when we went down at 9:00am. The hotel also has a really strong fragrance which smelled nice, but it gave my sister and I a headache after a while, so just a caution to anyone with sensitivity or allergies"
