Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great base of operations in SF. Great location. Good view. Could faintly hear the people in the room next door occasionally but that was likely because of the conjoined rooms."

8/10 Good
"Great location. Well organized breakfast with good food. My biggest complaint is the pillows. One is not enough and two are too many causing a very sore neck. Toilet tank in our bathroom took forever to turn off after flushing."

"We had a WONDERFUL experience at the Hotel Zoe! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the room was immaculate - they also comped us a bottle of wine! The property is very convenient to the Fisherman’s Wharf area, and the Pescatore Restaurant was great. Thanks to the entire staff for a terrific experience!"

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent
"This is a hidden gem! We were somewhat leery booking this property because the price was $150 for the night. What we experienced was a great boutique style hotel. The room was smaller but had a large walk in closet, which you don’t see in hotels. This allowed us to put luggage in there and made the room feel bigger. Highly recommend staying here!"
