Family Friendly Hotels in San Francisco, CA

I am a breastfeeding mom and had to pump on my stay. The staff was great and let me check in at 9am so I could pump in my room. They even had a mini fridge in the room waiting for me. They were so nice and helpful. Rooms are a little small. Got a queen size bed, but free breakfast was nice. Great stay and so close to the fisherman's wharf and pier 39. Was able to walk to both locations.

Great location two blocks south of Market - short walk from the Civic Center Bart Station. Room was very nice and surprisingly quite given the busy streets in the area. My only complaint was that the mattress was extra firm, which some might not mind, but I found myself waking with a few aches. I will definitely consider staying here in the future. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Great Location, close to many restaurants, fishermans wharf and Ghiradelli Square. Also close to local transit, so can take bus to China Town and Union Square. The bus ran very frequently, so never had to wait more then 10 minutes for one. They also accommodated us with an early check in that was appreciated.

Hotel was adequate and a good value. Staff friendly and accomodating. Restaurant poorly managed. Overnight parking @ $25.00 was cheap enough for SFO. I'm happy.

This won't be found listed among swanky hotels.  It's older, but well-maintained and conveniently located in the Fisherman's Wharf area.  We had four (4) people in one room with two (2) Queen beds, and although a bit tight, it was certainly manageable for a 1-week trip.  (After all, one doesn't visit San Francisco to hang out all day in a hotel, right?) What set the Courtyard by Marriott Fisherman's Wharf apart was the courteous, helpful, and awesome staff!  Not only did they provide helpful information, but did so in a gracious manner that's getting increasingly hard to find.  Whether it was getting a few extra towels for the room; directions for finding the right Municipal bus route; recommendations for restaurants; or whatever else, they were there with a smile and an answer - and often an answer that helped us save time/money on our trip.  Would I stay there again?  Most definitely; and if you're traveling with a family and not wanting to have to take out a home equity loan to finance your lodging during your vacation, you ought to give this hotel serious consideration.

Location couldn't be better for Fisherman's Warf. Extremely helpful staff, great place to lounge around the fire pit in the atrium after a day of sightseeing.

The staff was extremely friendly, so eager to accomodate any requests made. The rooms were clean and modern. The only downfall was availability of food. The room service only ran from 5pm-10pm and the cafe and Starbucks downstairs had VERY limited hours. This made it difficult if you worked or attended any functions during the day (I was attending a conference). The staff was helpful with travel and sightseeing tips and overall it was a great place to stay. I would recommend this hotel and go back in a heartbeat!

I had a problem with the TV. The mechanic was up in 10 minutes and solved the problem. I wanted a higher room with a bewtter view. This was done the very next day. Excellant service by the hotel and the staff.

The Best Western Hotel California is an older hotel on Geary Street three blocks from Union Square and six blocks from the powell Street BART station/Powell cable car terminus. It is ideally suited for anyone who plans to tour the entire city using public transportation. It is reasonably priced, the beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean, and the breakfast buffet was great. I appreciated the wi-fi connection, the safe in the room and the refridgerator (my wife, three teenage sons and I stayed in the king-queen suite). No five star accomodations by any means, but that was not what I wanted. I wanted a nice, reasonably inexpensive place to stay in the heart of the city without all of the unnecessary and expensive glitz. Keep in mind: the street noise is substantial at the Hotel California. Also, the neighborhood gets a little shetchy as you go south and west of the hotel (into the Tenderloin neighborhood) and it appeared as though the "sketchiness" extended to the hotel late at night. Neither factor bothered us much...we were exhausted from full days and in bed by 10 pm, and there is not much we wanted to see in the Tenderloin anyway. Finally, the staff was helpful and friendly. I would stay there again.
