Chancellor Hotel on Union Square
"The roof was amazing, we really enjoyed ourselves. The staff I found to be a little down. I am not sure if they were overloaded but they were very short with us. But the rooms and the property were very amazing. We are definitely going back soon."

Hotel Julian
"The hotel is sooo old and it has only 1 very old elevator for the 7 floors, so you need to wait a long time each time you wanna take it. I stayed there for 1 night and the room next to me was so noisy and had to change my room. They were accommodating in this part but took them a very long time. ..."

Hotel Zeppelin San Francisco
"We had a great time at this hotel in the heart of Union Square. We were lucky to get a room towards the back on the sixth floor, so it was pretty quiet. The vibe of the hotel is great and the rooms were painted dark shades of black and dark green. Beds were comfy & bathroom was fun!"
