San Francisco hotels near Aquarium of the Bay

Pros: Location -

Cons: Parking -

Cons: This hotel staff gived to down grade room rather than my reservation.

Pros: Location. Cleanliness Courteousness

Pros: 5-star hotel all the way. Soundproof windows, excellent service, central location, and a bespoke feel.

Pros: The Holiday Décor, the 2 Restaurants, lobby door men, concierge knowledge. I do not know how many people book 5 nights, but I would have a rotation of flavors of muffins in the morning, we had same selection all 5 mornings. Hotel Breakfasts in dining room were very good. Taxi services good.

Cons: steps between 7th and 8th floor

Pros: I loved this hotel!!! It was in a great location, the staff was awesome. The rooms were truly unique and comfortable. I will stay here again and again! I had breakfast in the dining room and it was wonderful.

Cons: The rugs in the hallways looked like they needed to be replaced. That was really it for me.

Pros: My room was lovely - quality furnishings, sufficient space, nice view.

Cons: I was very surprised to be charged an extra $35 for "facilities fee", including taxes. This is not a resort so I don't understand why it would charge a high "facilities fee".

Pros: Everything was exceptional

Cons: Nothing

Cons: No bells and whistles. This was much more like your standard, mid-grade Marriott than a 4-star experience. No fluffy robes, slippers, turn-down service, etc.

Cons: There was nearly $35 in hotel fees that I wasnt aware of when I booked the room. It came as a surprise when I checked out the next morning. Apparently it was for coffee and pastry in the lobby and WiFi. I didnt want either. Waste of money.

Pros: Pros: Location Staff is wonderful Rooms are large and comfortable for San Francisco

Cons: Cons: The Bistro is awful, did not try the restaurant Weird position for shower activation, have to actually be in the shower to turn it on........BRRR. The closet is about 12" wide, so this is not the place to stay for a long time

Pros: The location is great!

Cons: Understand being charged for internet and coffee/muffins, but if breakfast runs until 9:30 then there should be coffee and muffins available at 9:15. I let the front desk know and waited 15 minutes to no avail.

Pros: The architecture

Cons: Overpriced

Pros: Great Valet.

Cons: Poor bar. Closed early.

Pros: The room was huge, clean, beautiful.

Cons: I would have liked some instruction on how to use the hotel Wifi

Pros: Beautiful building, excellent location to SF. room was spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and open.

Cons: Our room , #113 had an extremely noisy HVAC fan. We could not leave the heat on and be able to sleep.

Pros: Great location. Luxurious. Historical.

Pros: The location was wonderful. We had a great time walking to many places. It is close to shopping, Fisherman's Wharf and several restaurants. I love the fact that they raise bees and enjoyed the honey beer. The coffee and wine were great too!

Cons: Nothing really. We liked our room. The bed was comfortable. Many families travelling with cranky toddlers, but that isn't the hotel's fault:}

Pros: grand old hotel, with wonderfully decorated lobby. nice large rooms.

Cons: rooms are a a bit Spartan. room was not ready or fully cleaned on arrival. long waits for valet parking. prices are very high

Pros: The personnel and the rooms are excellent. The breakfast buffet not good and very expensive.

Pros: This is probably the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Ever since I was a kid, my parents would always drive by the Fairmont and tell us what a fancy hotel it was. On this visit, my wife and I stayed over for my 48th birthday. What a beautiful place.

Cons: Yes, I did not like the fact that it is at the top of the hill at California and Mason. If you're anywhere near Union Square and on foot, you have to walk up a severely steep hill.

Pros: The hotel restaurant could not clear tables from previous guests and you could only be served the buffet. The other restaurant was closed.

Pros: Nice location. Nice rooms.

Cons: Ask about their add on fees. We went to a New Years party at the Tonga room. They add a 20% gratuity to your entire bill. That includes your entry fee. So your giving them a 20% tip to walk through the door. NEVER AGAIN! No one on their staff was willing to work this out. For a 5 star establishment, this is not the way to do business.

Pros: Best Christmas decorations of any SF hotel. Outstanding service, quiet room, great gym and location.

Pros: Staff and spacious rooms

Cons: Beds a little hard

Pros: very cozy and decent

Cons: urban bundle fee is expensive..

Pros: Great offer to upgrade at a small upcharge - worth it given the view of downtown SF. Staff was great and check in and out was seamless

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff great location

Cons: Charging $30 for internet in the room is ridiculous! It should be free and this is a big negative for me. It indicates a gotcha mentality since everyone needs or at least wants internet and most places provide it at no charge.

Pros: Conveniently located between Att park and Fisherman's Wharf.

Cons: Room could have been a bit cleaner.

Pros: Great location, clean facilities, nice staff, comfortable bed

Cons: Food pricing was expensive, 1 electric bike was broken

Pros: Clean and modern

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hotel has a wonderful service, is not as "touristic" as other SF hotels, has really cool lobby with comfy sofas and places to rest. Quite different and nice, inclusive climate, with big rooms too (although we had a view at big, green trash container at the Intercontinental hotel next door but this is what we paid for). Good breakfasts too. Location was good as well, we walked back downtown and took a tram or uber back to the hotel.

Cons: The aircon system pretty old and so loud in one of the rooms that it was impossible to sleep without switching it off. Our laundry was partially lost and mixed with another room. We were not able to get everything back from the laundry and this loss was compensated in the final bill. My biggest concern though was the main entrance - an automatic door almost always open as people were passing by and with the December cold weather, we were absolutely freezing sitting nearby at breakfast or dinner. It would be great to invest in another door as we would be glad to stay and order/pay more in the restaurant.

Pros: The hotel was alright but the last day qhen we were checking out they issued a wrong check, asking js to pay over 200 dollars extra when the right one ended up being 70 dollars. We complaint to the guy and after asking about every single thing that they were charging us he ended up issuing a new check. Everyone can have a mistake when issuing a check but the guy did not even know ehat they were charging us for but still trying to make us pay that huge ammount of money. I also contacted them before going to the hotel letring them knowthat we would be leaving the hotel one day early to see if they could do anything about it but they did not even reply and when I told them personally when I get there they did not even bother giving me an answer for what I was saying

Pros: The beds were so comfortable

Cons: The bathrooms are dated. Shower over the bath and dated tiling. The hands free toilet was annoying because it flushed when ever you moved past it. Not very eco-friendly

Pros: Nice hotel in general

Cons: The check in was one our delayed and the people in the front desk were not very servicial. Since it’s in the top part of the city, walking with kids or senior people is complicated. Breakfast options are not really option, it forces you to buy the full buffet.

Pros: Outside the cable car close to everything

Cons: To many hills.

Pros: The location was excellent and the ability to open the sliding door to obtain fresh un air conditioned air was much appreciated after 1 month of hotel living. The club lounge service is very good.

Cons: Where do I begin This hotel is over priced, if you are looking for that luxury escape with club room access then look elsewhere. We were allocated a disabled room which was poorly appointed, dirty, the bathroom door didn’t fit the space, allowing for little privacy. There were plates of food and pizza boxes on the floor outside our room The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable the pillows were squashy and small The room walls are paper thin you can here everything (yes intimately everything) going on next door! Being above Union Square makes it very noisy. The club lounge offers little variety for breakfast, it is small and the tables are too tall for the chairs. The coffee machine was broken and I’ve had my fill of dreadful American “coffee”. However the evening affair was better with a different selection each night Personally this rates little higher than an airport hotel. The decor is dated and seventies’. We were informed on arrival that none of our “Hyatt” points count because we booked through this site, however the Hyatt site doesn’t allow to book 2 different rooms on the same booking (we are holidaying with our teen age daughters). All in all a disappointing end to our holiday. I don’t understand how this hotel has rated so highly - the Hilton and the Marriott are close by. My advice is to check them out first.

Pros: Location.

Pros: Great location, walking distance to Union Square and Chinatown. The room is spacious, super-comfortable and perfectly clean. You can go up to 36 floor to enjoy the city view from above. Perks staying in this hotel is that they will give you discount vouchers for various things, from Macy's to Sightseeing Bus Tour.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Location and views

Cons: High prices

Pros: Location, staff, beautiful!

Pros: Excellent location and view, good on-site amenities.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: This is a great place to stay I love it. Thank you.

Pros: The view from the hotel! We upgraded to the union square view and were on the 26th floor. It was a great sight on the new year's eve! There are decent in-room dining options and you can self collect the food to avoid delivery charge. The location of the property is great and you can either use hop-on, hop-off shuttle to all touristy sites or can simply uber to everywhere.

Cons: Parking was very confusing. When we were at the hotel, the concierge guided us to where we could park at a garage closeby. The hotel could have sent this information in advance. Also we were with a little kid so dragging the luggage to the hotel from the parking lot was quite difficult. No assistance was offered by the concierge to help with the luggage and they simply couldn't be bothered. This hotel is effectively a factory due to the location and therefore help is not a commodity that comes cheap! The elevators are another story. Believe it or not but there are queues for access to the elevators and it does take a while sometimes to get your turn. Please plan (sounds funny I know) your departure factoring the elevator time.

Pros: The room was spacious and we had a wonderful view overlooking the San Francisco skyline. I also like the fitness center and the location is awesome close to great restaurants and shops

Cons: The bed was not very comfortable and difficulty sleeping. The mattress needed to be firmer. Waiting for the elevators can take a long time, perhaps because we were there during Christmas and there were a big number of families staying at the hotel plus it was hosting a group of collegiate football players for an upcoming big game.

Pros: The location is good.

Cons: We left the room at 3 for sight viewing and they didn’t even clean up the room. The cleaning service is very bad and we felt very itchy on our skin after the stay in this hotel...

Pros: Location was great

Cons: Lobby was small

Pros: Close to the shopping center and many restaurants around.

Cons: Nothing
