YOTEL San Francisco
Everything was great. It was clean, modest breakfast but good. Plenty of excellent coffee shops a short walk away. I would stay here again, but not in the sky room. It was cramped for my taste

Hilton San Francisco Financial District
We had a wonderful time and the facility was beautiful. This is a minor issue for most but for me it is Major. The fragrance used in the facility is way too strong, especially near the elevators. I know many people like heavy fragrance and sense but for some of us with allergies it can be torture ...

Hotel Julian is very nice and offered everything we needed. The front desk lady Angel is really an angel. She is so helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay there. We will definitely come back if we visit SF again.
