Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and quiet"

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very busy and lovely hotel which actually made me feel comfortable as someone travelling alone. I liked the bar in the main lobby, the bartenders were very friendly! The pool and hot tub area were pretty quiet which was nice. My room had a really nice view on floor 36, and was basic but had everything I needed. Bed was comfortable and the blackout curtains came in use. A few streets around this hotel contained some homeless population but they were not bothersome too me when I walked to stores or to get food. Lots of nearby places to eat and get drinks"

Handlery Union Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"It would have been nice to be told ahead of time not to go to the parking garage before checking in. We had to take our suitcase down 2 sets of stairs to get to the lobby, then back up those stairs to get to the elevator to get to our room. The bed was very firm. Not my favorite, but it was okay. The AC smelled musty and by the morning, my husband was sneezing and congested."

The Andrews Hotel

6/10 Okay

"I reserved a “Sunny Bay” King Room and was none too pleased to be initially assigned a dark room on a low floor at the back of the hotel looking over a dingy alley. Homie don’t play that game. I returned to the desk and requested the room I had reserved. Don’t let this happen to you. I’m not sure why hotels feel that this behavior is acceptable."
