Top Balboa Park Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel Embarcadero, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean rooms"

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"I love the aesthetic of the place. Vintage and yes there is no AC but it was not a big deal. They have tower fans and ceiling fan. I definitely will be staying there again it’s very clean. The staff were very nice and helpful. It was my first time in the city and they were nice and they showed me where to park. Parking was $45 per night which seems high but it’s valet. They do give you a discount thought the hotel but I love how you order your car and they have it ready. They don’t have breakfast but they do have delicious cookies and coffee. I am very impressed about the price as well."
