Best Hotels near Lake Merced Golf Club, Daly City

I want to share my recent experience at this hotel, which I regretfully cannot recommend. The hotel has an attractive location but is marred by a lack of basic amenities and poor customer service. During our six-night stay, we discovered on the second morning that there was no hot water. We informed the receptionist, Andy, but were met with a dismissive and rude attitude. We were informed that there would be no hot water for the rest of the day, and this lack of basic amenities was for a total of three days of the six days of our stay. Please note that according to California Civil Code §1940.2, it is the responsibility of the hotel to provide and maintain hot and cold running water for guests. To make matters worse, when we requested to check out early due to this issue, we were offered no refunds as our stay was prepaid on expedia. Expedia told us that the property was to decide while the property said it was expedia.. As I am a hotelier myself, I know it is the hotel’s call in the end. We were offered a shower facility in a separate building which was very inconvenient as we had to walk out of our building and take elevators to get there.. This was not a suitable alternative to the basic amenity that we had paid for. To add insult to injury, at time of check out, Andy offered us only $80 as a refund on a reservation worth over $1500, what a humiliating act, we could not believe it! Better not to offer anything, because really it is a shame to offer this to people.. We were one of the many customers to complain, and we saw that the receptionists had no sympathy towards anyone.. Yes, all businesses are there to make money, but not like this. What they did is close to stealing from someone! I cannot recommend this hotel to other travelers, and I will continue to write on other platforms to warn people..

First of all, the scenery is invincible. You can see the airport and the takeoff and landing of planes. Wi-fi is charged, as is parking, and everything else is fine. Wi-fi is US$14.50 per day and parking is US$30 per day. If you drive by yourself, the price/performance ratio is not as good as the Hyatt next door (Hyatt has Airtrain direct access to various terminals at the airport, including the car rental center, if you return the car one day in advance.) However, the price has doubled, but there is not much difference if you return the car one day in advance. Summary: If you drive, returning the car one day in advance is not as cost-effective as Hyatt. If you don’t have a car, this hotel will be more cost-effective. There are several Chinese restaurants nearby, all on the seaside. The prices are high and suitable for business banquets.

The hotel is very comfortable😌 It's just that the room faces the road, which is a bit noisy. The hotel is next to the Pacific Ocean and the beach is beautiful. If you exercise along the beach in the morning, you can climb up the nearby hill to overlook the Pacific Ocean. very beautiful

The location is very close to the airport, and it only takes 5 minutes to get there by car. However, there is no public transportation to get there. Uber is very expensive, and parking requires parking in a paid parking lot. The overall environment of the room is clean and comfortable, the breakfast is very rich, and the staff at the reception are very polite.

This was an awesome experience. We were staying here as a Day Use hotel and I was a little nervous about if we would be treated as a nuisance since we were only staying a few hours. EVERYONE here was so kind and helpful and courteous! We had very clean and comfortable room for our six hour stay. We were able to nap, shower, and watch TV while waiting for our midnight flight. The restaurant food was high quality and the server was terrific, sorry I don't remember his name. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! If we are in San Francisco again, we will definitely stay here.

Area is beautiful. Hotel is newer very nice for a Doubletree but stayed two weeks and $25 a day to park in the huge lot was ridiculous. When I got to my room my frig had previous guests restaurant leftovers in it and water, their sock on the floor, floor wasn’t swept close to the beds. Better after I tipped. The pool was cloudy. Not sure what COVID laws were when I first got there but breakfast was buffet only, dinner starts at five not much selection and draft beer taps covered. Closed on Sun. End of 2nd week, back to normal. Staff was friendly, especially the front desk ladies, and restaurant/bar staff. Beautiful Bay walking path but nothing around for food or drinks in walking distance. Slept great, selection of different pillows and dark blinds.

I stayed 3 nights in a female room, beds in a capsule style, a spacious and quiet room, a big locker, and it covered my bag, common bag and jacket. In every floor they have a lounge with TV, microwave, freezer, coffee and tea. The location is excellent, close to the market, public transport and tourist points at 20 minutes walk. I love and recommend!

Meet all needs: 1) Transportation: It is convenient to go anywhere near the BART station. 2) Shopping: Next to Tanforan mall, everything includes food. 3) Convenient to the airport. In addition, the environment is comfortable and clean, the service is good, the breakfast is medium, rich and nutritious. highly recommended!

Amenities are really lacking - the room lacked basic items, including no free water in the room, no slippers, only one dressing gown (despite being booked for two people). Temperature controls were inconsistent. The lighting was either on or off - no way to turn off just a few. Service was predominately pretty poor - staff were grumpy and aloof from our arrival onwards. But Sammie was fantastic - when we encountered an issue with the heating in our original room she was super accommodating and friendly. Redeeming qualities - the room was really clean, housekeeping were great, the view from the roof was great, and the location was walking distance from so many places (MOMA, Union Square, Oracle Stadium, Chase Stadium, Pier 33 for Alcatraz, ferry building etc) as well as good food options.

Without a doubt the worst hotel experience I've ever had. The bathroom door was hanging off its hinge and could only close 90% and the shower had non-functioning blinds on the window so there was no private way to shower. The room should never have been rented to us or anyone. We booked a room for a week at The Fitzgerald for GDC 2023. First thing the room was ready an hour later than check-in time. Not a big deal, but not a great start. We are then informed that because it's a busy time we are being put in a room in the lobby, not the end of the world but it without a doubt was the worst location I've ever been in. You can hear 100% of the noise all day in the lobby meaning no comfort or privacy for you in your room. Now once we got into the room we found a few issues, some stuff had been missed for a long time while cleaning, there was a bag over the smoke alarm. The room is located on the first floor with a window looking out into the street. One of the panes was cracked leading to essentially all street noise leaking into the room 24/7. But without a doubt the biggest issue was that the bathroom door's hinges was mostly torn out of the wall meaning the bathroom door could only shut part way leaving a large gap. I can't imagine why they thought it was okay to rent a room with a non-functioning bathroom door, but it is completely unacceptable. In the bathroom you will find that the toilet is put right up against another door which also leads to the lobby, again making the use of the facilities extremely uncomfortable. There is also a window next to the shower, but the blinds are broken and can't be opened or closed and instead are just stuck halfway. When we informed the front desk, we were told that ”No one can be out there” discounting our discomfort and acting as though it wasn't an issue and seemingly thinking windows don't open, and can't generally be seen through. We asked the front desk about swapping rooms, but as it's GDC they are booked up. So instead we informed them that we will be checking out and moving to another hotel. They said ”We know the room isn't great” still standing by their view that the room is up to The Fitzgerald standards, which I have no choice but to believe it is. They then also told us that because we booked through a 3rd party instead of directly through them their hands were tied in terms of issuing any sort of refund. Looking at their website their ”Check Availability” button links directly to booking(dot)com and the ”Reservations” button links directly to hotels(dot)com so I'm assuming they are trying to funnel unsuspecting people to 3rd party sites so they can then hide behind them when someone inevitably has an issue. So on top of the issues with the room it seems like they have some scummy business practices as well. I can only recommend not to rent a room from this hotel. Sure some of their rooms might be passable, but there is a non-zero chance that they stick you in the worst room you've ever had
