Top hotels in Lower Bal
Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG
Good Stay- wish the rooms had queens instead of double beds though

Handlery Union Square Hotel
Ac is okay, pillow was given 3, but rather soft. Overall good location, good and decent hotel, but whenever nearby room door is closed, the air will make a loud sound to my door too. So when chambermaid is cleaning up rooms around mine, it will be endless slamming sound on my door too.

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
The bathroom was very tight and the noise level was very high. Other than that it was great.

Very comfortable beds. Walls are pretty thin as we heard neighbors having basic conversations. Awesome location and wonderful employees. Would absolutely stay again.
