Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with an excellent supermarket across the road. Hop on bus stops out front. Walking distance to heaps of gteat restaurants."

Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great location, just about a block from Oracle park, we walked to the game in 5 min, bars and restaurants around as well. Clean rooms, nice patio and great included breakfast. If we had any complaints it is that our room was very small, and we were there on a pretty hot weekend and the windows don’t open and you couldn’t make it cooler in the room. Other than that it was great, and we will probably be back one day."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"The Chancellor Hotel has a great location on the Powell Street cable car line, half a block from Union Square and four blocks from Market Street. It's an old hotel, built 100 years ago, so the hallways are irregular and the elevator seems ancient. But everything works. The hotel doesn't serve breakfast -- I recommend the croissants at One65 on O'Farrell Street, two blocks away -- but it does serve drinks at night. They also offer cookies, apples, a coffee machine and lemon-infused cold water in the lobby (although a couple of times they were out of the water). They also have a machine in the lobby to fill water bottles. The hotel notes that they don't have air conditioning. That's generally not a problem. The rooms do have ceiling fans that help when it's warm. I'd stay there again."
