Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf
"Everything about this stay was incredible. From the friendly and communicative staff, to the s’mores from 5-7, to the clean rooms and being in close proximity helped create a memorable stay. Parking for 3 night came out to roughly $222, but would definitely stay at this property again"

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG
"We’ve stayed here before years ago. The hotel is nice, a little on the older side but it’s well kept. Didn’t have much interaction with staff but what little we did when we checked it was good. Friendly and fast. There are lots of restaurants near by within walking distance. Family friendly."
