“I had a wonderful stay at the Chancellor! From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The amenities, especially [mention a highlight like the pool, breakfast, or gym], made my stay even more enjoyable. The location was perfect, and I appreciated the extra effort the team put into ensuring a great experience. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend the Chancellor to anyone visiting San Francisco!”

Amazing property right in the middle of downtown, absolutely loved it. Close to all the shopping, cable cars, subway, wharf, etc. The rooms were nice, but it is an old hotel! Beds were very comfortable, and I did not hear any street noise like other people. It all depends on which side of the hotel you’re staying on. The front desk staff were the best and most helpful staff I’ve ever seen! Highly recommend this property

Let’s start off with the bed… this was very comfortable, so soft & fluffy. The pillows were the same. The bathtub was very deep if you enjoy taking baths and just relaxing. The closet looked like an entire room itself. We were able to store our luggage’s without them getting in the way. The safe is convenient to have there as well. The staff is amazing, we interacted with 7 different employees during our stay and all of them are just wonderful and make you feel comfortable. Thank you again!

Sadly, Union Square has suffered terribly from loss of retail. There aren’t many restaurants in the area anymore.

Really loved staying here, extremely affordable. The bed was soooo comfy! I appreciated the locked door in the evenings for safety reasons. Parking is close by and they offer you a voucher if you need one (for an extra fee of course). Only qualm we had was both of the elevator permits expired in 2022 and with how rickety it is, it definitely made us a tiny bit nervous on our rides up and down to the 12th floor.
