Top Polk Gulch Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience"

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel - super clean, but felt like the room was a little outdated. Housekeeping was wonderful and thorough. This is only personal preference, but the pillows were extremely uncomfortable as well. And just one last minor request - include paper and pens in your rooms please. :)"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location and the rooms are very nice. Can be noisy from guests above ,if you are on a lower floor. The food at breakfast is wonderful and plentiful but having to wait in line to get in was not fun. Always crowded and noisy. Wish they would give you complimentary coffee while you wait!"

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most amazing 2 day stay , we were greeted by Ernesto who was so very helpful he provided us with so much information about the sites , bus tours , cruises and wine tours. Ernesto also offered us a hotel upgrade which came with so many benefits. We just wish we had a longer stay."
