Chancellor Hotel On Union Square

Great location. It's not a big swanky or new hotel, with suites of flashy modern rooms. It's an older hotel, a moderate price for downtown San Francisco, a small bar, restaurants and shopping close by, and a deep soaking tub with a rubber ducky! In all of the hotels I have been in all over the world, not one has been thoughtful enough to hang an umbrella in the closet--it's a gem of a place! ...read more

I love this hotel. It's truly a gem in the heart of San Francisco. The hotel was built in 1914 and has been with the same family ever since. The building has been there for close to a hundred years, so don't compare it with gleaming newly designed luxury hotels. I would really commend them for making the best out it - it's as clean, comfortable, and well-maintained as can be. And has a lot of character. For the their star rating and rates, they provide a lot more niceties than many higher priced 4 & 5 star hotels such as the Westin St. Francis next door which I had stayed in before. Free wifi. Coffee, tea, cookies, and papers available in the lobby all day. I had a room on the 3rd floor facing the street with some view of Union Square, and was initially concerned about the noise. Surprisingly, it wasn't noisy at all. The building and windows must have good sound insulation. The room is tastefully furnished and also come with a fridge. There's a old style deep soaking tub. However, the tub do not have overflow drain, so be careful when filling it up. The toiletries are of good quality and include stuffs such as bath salts that other hotels don't normally include. The restaurant downstairs serve quality food, good and prompt services at a very reasonable price. The Hotel staff were great. Great location - right next to Union Square. Overall, I can't ask for more. I will definitely stay here whenever I visit San Francisco, and won't hesitate to recommend it to friends and relatives. ...read more

A great location, staff is pleasant and helpful, rooms are very clean if not a little beat-up, and the restaurant was perfectly fine (clean, good food, at a fair price). I'd stay here again if I couldn't get a better deal at a more upscale property.

The room was small and I would not want to stay there if it was summer as I did not see any AC in the room. It was nice out so we had the windows open. It was very clean and it was clear that they worked hard to keep it high class. We requested to have two different items brought to our room both were done so quickly.
