Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

4 out of 5

Posted 3 hours ago

Travelocity Verified Review

"Overall the stay was great. Its in a great area for tourist. I noticed the camper in the yard wasnt open at all to sell breakfast or lunch. We didnt get much time in the yard. We sat to eat but was it. Its nice they have fire pits but none were available. This is a heavily congested area so it was very busy. There were difficult people checking in when we were in line, but the front desk clerk kept her cool. Overall, we had a great time."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

Travelocity Verified Review

"This was a very nice hotel however, the location is not ideal for somebody who does not know the Bay Area like me. We booked here because we thought it’d be close to everything and it is not as close as we thought. It’s like a 20 minute drive for everything and on top of that it is what is considered downtown so anything past 7 o’clock was to be avoided outside of this hotel because there are a lot of homeless people outside. During our stay, we experienced a homeless man or what seem to be a homeless man come into the lobby to dispose of a syringe obviously not used for medical needs and the hotel staff addressed, but it is something that I wish my kids did not have to see well. I understand that it is best for them to be properly disposed of. I think there needs to be a safe place for them to do that and provide that service if they’re going to and not in front of full on families."
