Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Z"

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"We had a WONDERFUL experience at the Hotel Zoe! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the room was immaculate - they also comped us a bottle of wine! The property is very convenient to the Fisherman’s Wharf area, and the Pescatore Restaurant was great. Thanks to the entire staff for a terrific experience!"

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near fisherman’s wharf. We got there earlier than check in so they took care of our bags while we explored the city. Room was clean and comfortable. No kitchen/breakfast on site but the water station with lots of flavors was a nice touch. The kids enjoyed the sorbet tasting on Tuesday afternoon. The valet let us park our rented e-bikes in the garage since he said not to leave them unattended even locked in the neighborhood. We enjoyed this hotel and we would definitely stay here again."

Hotel Julian

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel with a lot of history for movie fans and tourists. Very walkable area and close to the BART if needed. Front desk staff need some work in customer service. The Food and Beverage department makes this place. Michael at the bar, along with the breakfast team go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and a guest at the property."
