Top Canal Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very clean and spacious rooms"

Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"i absolutely loved staying here. every aspect of the experience was amazing. The staff was so attentive and kind. The rooms were clean and comfy. The breakfast was really good! The outside patios were THE spot to relax after a long day of walking. If you wondering on whether this hotel is worth the stay, trust me it is."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

8/10 Good

"I had some difficulties getting my room. I had reserved in May and it took the hotel until six o'clock to get it resolved. It would be worse if I hadn't run into friends staying there at the same time. The hotel manager did comp me the breakfast buffet as consolation for the lengthy check-in so I am grateful. Another complaint I had was the hotel had HBO channels locked for some reason. Every time I tried watching thrm, it brought up a Direct TV notice. I am not sure if there was this was meant to be an upgrade or something, but I've stayed at other hotels in the area before and they've freely provided premium channels, it was just unusual for the stay. I only really watched TV for the first night of my stay so it's not that bad. Otherwise, I did like the hotel and its amenities. I did love taking a bath again and the faucet was made for either bath or shower. Makeup mirror came in handy for before venturing out on the big day and the AV setup of the TV, while not used, was appreciated. I will stay again, just hoping they make improvements on the check-in process."
