Situated in San Francisco, 600 metres from Oracle Park, LUMA Hotel San Francisco features accommodation with a fitness centre, private parking, a restaurant and a bar. With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. The accommodation provides an ATM, a concierge service and luggage storage for guests. Great place, cool interior design - functional and modern but yet with some really nice and surprising details. Friendly and helpful staff. We were on the 15th floor with a great view, but we never had to wait long for the elevators. Beds were really comfortable and the bathroom/shower practical and of good quality. Valet parkong is no bargain. We parked at Giants parking lot A just across the street (purchased the ticket ahead online) and used Uber to get around town. We would go back anytime.

Ideally set in San Francisco, citizenM San Francisco Union Square features a buffet breakfast and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is around 800 metres from Moscone Center, 1.4 km from San Francisco City Hall and 2.7 km from Oracle Park. The property is non-smoking and is situated 400 metres from Union Square. Excellent location. The staff is diverse, lovely, always ready to help and provide information about the city (places to eat, how to use transportation, things to do). The room is so techie, I loved it! I also liked the fact that we can use the common spaces to have a meal, even if it was something bought outside the hotel. The (free) water fountain at the bar was very useful. The hotel is full of nice and humorous details, it was fun to spend some time looking at them.

Luskin Hotel and Conference Center features a restaurant, fitness centre, a bar and shared lounge in Los Angeles. Providing a garden, the property is located within 2.8 km of Getty Center. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, a shuttle service, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. The hotel is on the campus of UCLA, which was nice. It was far away from any of the touristic sites, but it was expected in LA. The facilities were good, the bed was comfortable, and the staff was helpful.

The rooms were spacious (we had a 2 queen beds room), the bathroom was clean and the ammenities nice. The hotel lobby is very beautiful too. The hotel is very well located so we were able to walk around town. The hotel offers complimentary parking outside its premises. The staff recommended us a nice place to have breakfast and it was great (The Belgian Cafe).

Close to Universal City, home of more than 50 shops and restaurants, this hotel in North Hollywood, California offers contemporary amenities such as free wireless internet and an on-site restaurant. An outdoor pool and hot tub is also available to guests. We loved the overall vibe and decor of the hotel: family-friendly, yet cool and stlyish with a very relaxed 70s vibe from when you walk in. Restaurant and pool area have a real holiday-feel about them. We loved that the breakfast buffet used proper cutlerly and plates. We only stayed two nights as part of our 2 weeks California road trip. But could very well imagine for a family to stay there for more days doing sight-seeing and then relaxing at the pool and using all the additional entertainment such as open-air film screenings, guided walks etc. This hotel was definitely the highlight accommodation of our trip because of its unique 70s style and very friendly, laid-back atmosphere.
