8/10 Very Good! (1,272 reviews)

Staff was very nice and helpful. Bed comfy, good size room and clean, the only 2 things I didn’t like is that they didn’t clean the room, we stayed 2 nights and they don’t even tell you or give the option like in most of the places after covid. And the other thing (we didn’t know until it was too late) parking lot is crazy expensive!!!! 45usd per night. I guess if you are not driving is a good place to stay though. It is always Hilton who charges for everything extra!!

Yveey, Edwin and Nathan could not have been more awesome… I thought I may have been too old for the vibe but the front desk made me feel right at home. And the Guys late night who suggested In and out burger many many thanks! They I would absolutely return and absolutely recommend… I think I forgot to mention that the rooms are immaculate and the bathrooms are a treat. I love a great hotel bathroom and this did not disappoint! And check out the Food! There are a lot of great little gems in Fisherman’s Wharf and this is one of them. I I will definitely be back and any time I have guests from out town they will be staying there. To all the wonderful staff.. thank you for making my night really special - from a happy guest and local area resident

All was good. Except the heat didnt work right in one of the rooms that I reserved. I was very surprised that my Mom was actually cold in the night. I did try and look at the thermostat the next morning to be sure that it wasn't just my mom misreading the remote. It did work the next night when staff came up to check, so I dont know what happened. I have stayed here many times before flights.
