Great place to stay!
Galleria was a great place to stay. Close to downtown stores and cable cars, excellent places to eat. Also close to the Muni and Bart Transits. If you like to shop this is the hotel to stay at. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Our room was small but most important very clean and the bed was comfortable. I love that this Hotel old but renovated nicely. There is a community room for the guests to use, if you didn't bring your computer there are two Apple computers there with a printer. Our room was very quiet so we got a good nights sleep. Next time we go to SF we will stay @ the Galleria.

Long walk from hotel
Most places are walking distance, but can always have the Hotel call a cab, which will cost you around $6.00 dollars.

What a great place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay! The room was very clean and comfortable. We stayed three nights and enjoyed the friendly and helpful staff at the desk and at the door. They were very helpful giving us great guidance to find out where we needed to go. The lobby was very pretty and it was a comfortable place to hang out. great price for our San Francisco stay!!!

Staff was very helpful. Bed was comfortable a big plus, street noise during business hours, heavy curtains helped block the noise. Was quiet during late sleep hours. Really enjoyed our stay and will be back.

GREAT week in San Francisco
The only thing missing was a larger restaurant in the hotel. Location was perfect. Easy access from the airport via BART (lowest cost). Easy access to Trolleys and Cable Cars. No need for a rental car. We took a City Tour, visited China Town, Fisherman's Wharf (Pier 39), Alcatraz, Wine County, Yosemite National Park, and the Aquarium. The hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming. They were especially knowledgeable in where to go and helpful in making reservations.

Great weekend getaway
The Galleria Park Hotel was a fantastic location - we walked to MOMA and the theater district. Lots of great restaurants and shops were close as well. Our room was facing the street but we did not find it noisy at all. We liked looking out at the buildings in the neighborhood. Loved the wine hour in the lobby and the coffee maker in our room. The only thing I would add would be a brighter light over the bathroom and hall mirrors.

Nightlife tip:
Short walk from hotel
End the evening with a drink at the top of the Hyatt Union Hotel. There's a great piano player there and the view on a clear night is wonderful.

Noisy Location - Unhappy
San Francisco, pretty city and pretty noisy, it seems, at night. There was a big construction going on across the street from our room, very noisy and it made it very difficult to sleep. The street noise is also considerable during the week (things beyond their control). The room: the bathroom fan was not working and after they 'fixed' it, it would only make noise and not extract any air from the bathroom. The shower curtain had that pink mold at the bottom. They "upgraded" us from a double bed room to a king+pull-out-sofa. This was done without our consent and before we even got there. This was a total DOWNGRADE. The staff seems friendly enough. I wouldn't stay here again.

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
If you are planning on getting on the cable cars, it is best to buy the Day Passport, which gives you a lot more flexibility and gives you access to all the MUNI modes of transportation. Important with so many people in the city and waiting times.

Very convenient and friendly hotel
We were doing a grandmother/mother/daughter trip and shared a room with 2 full beds. The room was not the largest, but it worked for us. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! The bathrooms were extremely clean and I loved the terrace with the walking track on the 3rd floor. Would definitely stay here again. The rate could not be beat, although the mini bar was pricey. I did enjoy the affordable room service from the sushi/mexican cafe next door.
