Top Aquarium of the Bay Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco

8/10 Good

"I would rate this hotel a solid 7/10. On the pros: staff are very courteous and helpful; bed was comfortable with soft cotton sheets and duvet; location is great. On the cons: room just did not feel cozy, instead somewhat cramped with inadequate lighting; in-room features could be improved, eg. there was no fan in the bathroom and no espresso maker or genuine ceramics in-room; on the pool deck, the hot tub is lukewarm without an outdoor shower for patrons, which therefore didn't feel hygienic. We requested robes which, once requested, arrived quickly and felt soft, but it would have been much nicer to find them in the room. One of the escalators was broken during our stay, but staff helped with our bags. Overall the staff is excellent but the hotel itself is in need of better ambience and an update. It was serviceable for our needs, but from the room to the pool deck to the lobby, not somewhere we wanted to relax and linger."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Overall, we had a great stay. The rooms were clean, the hotel was nice, and the location was excellent (just a short walk from Fisherman's Wharf). Parking was convenient, and the front desk staff were incredibly helpful. I forgot my ID, but they were able to accommodate us by adding my husband to the reservation, which I really appreciated. We arrived around 7:00 p.m., and the kids still had time to enjoy the warm pool for about an hour. Breakfast was crowded, but there were plenty of delicious options. The only negative was the bell service. After checking out, we left our bags so we could explore the wharf a little longer. The employee handling luggage was rude to another guest who was simply asking a question. When we returned, our bags were unzipped and left open. The employee said, "I don't know who put them in there or why they're open like that," then dropped our bags on the floor. Nothing appeared to be missing, but the interaction felt careless and unprofessional. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay. If we stay here again, I would skip using the bell service."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I could just cry! At first we were like ooooo this is a rough area. We almost cancelled our reservation. But I’m so glad we didn’t! The sunset suite had beautiful views! Nothing weird went on it was actually a pleasant stay. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I’m sure if I had a need they would have made sure I was ok. I definitely had a trip of a lifetime and the hotel contributed to that. Don’t judge a book by its cover because boy we had a TIME! Can’t wait for our next trip out there we will be back! :)"
