The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"the room was vey good - bed very comfortable - staff very polite the hotel is ideal as just off Market st & powell st where the cable car starts "

Handlery Union Square Hotel

"Very clean hotel with a great location right near Union Square. The good: Clean, location, friendly staff. The bad: Parking fee is expensive (use the parking garage less than a block away instead), some of the rooms are pretty small, the pool is small, and the sauna requires a reservation. The meh: rooms are "outdated" (I liked it, but some people prefer more modern fixtures), and there seems to be quirky rules for accessing certain amenities (see sauna above). Overall: If its reasonably priced compared to other hotels nearby, I think this one is a safe bet."

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I enjoyed our stay at Hotel Nikko. Overall, it was a 4-4.5/5 star experience. The property was well maintained and the rooms were overall quite nice. The 1st floor japanese restaurant was nice- we enjoyed the small plates they offered. The hotel lobby on the first floor was nice as well. The 5th floor sauna, workout room and pool/spa area are definite highlights! A few things: the elevators can be a bit confusing to use at first (the card tapping function on the call button is unintuitive), and they can be a bit of a lengthy wait. Also, they charge a $39 daily amenity fee (tax plus fees brings it to $45/day)- so be advised this is not a budget friendly hotel by any means. In all, this was a nice place to stay in downtown SF. Would stay here again in the future should other options prover costlier."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

"The room was clean and had what was needed, but it got pretty warm in the room and there was some hair in the shower when we had arrived. There was only the ceiling fan but no ac unfortunately. The staff were very helpful and nice to talk to! Good breakfast places within the area and a couple liquor/grocery stores within a 5 minute walking distance. my biggest complaint was the parking options around the hotel which there was only one option that had overnight fees of 75-80$."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

"A friendly and convenient property at the edge of the financial district and walking distance to Cable Car, BART, Ferry Bldg and Muni routes. The common dining room has complimentary tea and coffee service all day. In each floor there are refillable water bottles with filtered water and amenities like razors and toothpaste Ina self serve honor system."
