Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing.. when you step out of your car you feel like you are in the 1940’s. The bellmen helps you up to your room and even places your luggage into the closet. This place was so amazing. I will definitely stay there again just for the wonderful experience. Even without air-conditioning the rooms are super cool because the windows open, which are rare and they have ceiling fans and an extra fan if you get hot. I really felt like I was on vacation at this hotel."

Nob Hill Hotel

8/10 Good

"The old elevator was a unique experience. Rooms were nice and clean. Valet service was great. Coffee maker in lobby was convenient. Housekeeping kept the hotel very clean. Didn’t have hot water when we arrived and had to take a cold shower. Complimentary breakfast was not impressive. Didn’t have body soap in the room, asked front desk to refill it but never happened. Overall a good experience."
