Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

8/10 Good

"Nice stay"

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

8/10 Good

"Great location in Union Square with easy access to BART, making it convenient for getting around the city. The hotel also has onsite parking, although the $70 overnight parking fee feels a little steep. As a Gold member, I was disappointed with the inconsistency in how my benefits were handled. The front desk agent who checked me in offered me a $36 credit, but when I later spoke with a different front desk agent, I was told the credit could not be honored because I had booked through Expedia. It wasn't really about the $36 - it was the lack of consistency between the two employees and, more importantly, the manner in which the second agent responded that left a poor impression. There was also a cleanliness issue in the room. The in-room coffee machine had a noticeable layer of dust on it, making it look like it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. Overall, the location is a definite plus, but the inconsistent customer service and attention to room cleanliness could be better."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The only issie I had was that you can hear the people in the next room talking. So it was hard to get to sleep. The walls seem "thin" in this hotel. Stayed here before and same thing. Could almost hear the conversation. City noise is always an issue but thats not the hotels fault. A garbage truck doing something woke me up at 4:30am. Loud banging and glass breaking for about an hour. Wasnt sure what it was. Other than that, the place was clean and bed/pillows very comfortable. Riom was a good temperature. The staff is super friendly. Ill continue to use this hotel."

Nob Hill Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room is spacious and comfortable and really neatly upgraded, but the amenities like the breakfast were extremely basic (only breads and carbs, best western has more options!); and the hotel website says there's a wine tasting, but the staff knew nothing about it and were so unhelpful with trying to figure it out. they seemed to just be busy training new staff and were pretty dismissive. the elevator also broke down day of, and we were on the top floor. finally, the AC in the room was a little tricky to handle, definitely hot."
