Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great location..reasonably quiet..good size room for downtown. Excellent staff..prioritizes safety. Thanks for allowing me a late checkout!"

Comfort Inn by the Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the comfort inn! It was nicely located and near a fantastic coffee shop slightly down the hill. The staff was friendly and the rooms were nice, maybe a little dated, but they were clean and comfortable! The breakfast was okay. The view we had was amazing! You could see the Golden Gate Bridge and The Palace of Fine Arts"

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it here. Room was comfy, shower was excellent, bathroom was cute. Room has fridge and microwave, which today a lot of places don't simply just offer! Only downside is having to find parking elsewhere away from the property if you have a vehicle. All in all, it is an awesome stay and I am totally coming back next year."
