San Francisco and related destinations

Fog rolls across the Golden Gate Bridge while cable cars clank up impossibly steep hills lined with candy-colored Victorian houses. At Pier 39, sea lions bark and pose as if auditioning for wildlife documentaries. The Mission's muralists transform walls into canvases while locals debate which taqueria serves the definitive burrito. Alcatraz broods in the bay, its audio tour narrated by former guards and inmates. Golden Gate Park hides surprises around every bend – Japanese gardens, actual bison, and museums where you could happily lose an afternoon. For the best city views, skip the tourist crowds at Lombard Street and head to Twin Peaks, where the whole magnificent bay panorama unfolds at your feet.

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was clean, staff was nice & had a great time staying there"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and comfortable. The bathroom on the other hand was so small that you had to straddle the toilet just to close the door. But it was clean and functional. Would I stay there again? Sure if I ever come back to SF. Did we try the breakfast buffet that came with the room rate, no. The line was so long and we didn’t want to stand in line to grab a coffee and a bite. But it must have been nice because there were a lot of people there."

"Extremely helpful staff. Could improve on the coffee experience."

Stanford Court San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place, just beware of all the destination fees. Bartender and front desk was good, food and drinks are over priced."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA

8/10 Good

"Hyatt has a lot of amenities available to any guest, even if you're not a member. Which is very nice. I would have given 5 stars but the pillows were awful, all down no firm ones at all. So they would just squish and flatten into nothing. There is no microwave and the refrigerator is very tiny. The biggest problem for us personally was no in room A/C. There is a thermostat that allows you to turn on a fan that wafts a gentle breath of cool air from the ceiling vent. Big difference from having a unit in room that you can control. There was a light mildew smell but it wasn't overwhelming. Otherwise a very nice king corner room ,excellent staff,and a lot of amenities. Also the best hotel room coffee I've ever had"
