Handlery Union Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great central location to get to all the sights of San Fran"

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

8/10 Good

"The hotel is right on the bay, so it's has a nice ocean-front feel. The staff is very nice and helpful. It is important to know that the shuttle goes to the Oakland Airport. (Not their fault, but I misread that and had to make some adjustments to get to and from SFO.)"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff are pleasant, considerate and helpful. The sauna, hot tub, pool and fitness center are delightful; the rooms super comfortable, and housekeeping keeps it all extremely well. Dinner was delicious and the setting wonderful. Would love to revisit!"
