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!!!

We will be back
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.

great location
Beautiful old building. Our room was small but really when you have the whole city to explore all you need is a bed. The king bed was comfy. All the staff was friendly and polite. Centrally located to everything. (Shopping on Post is one block behind) Our 2 favorite pubs Murphy's and the Irish Bank inside the block. Great breakfast places within a few blocks. It was very relaxing.

Chic hotel, great location!
We didn't spend much time at the hotel during our visit but the time we were there was delightful! The staff was very friendly and accomidating. I'm a very light sleeper and the first room they put us in faced the street. It was a bit noisy but with one simple little phone call they switches us to a quiet, peaceful inside facing room. The decor was gorgeous and couldn't beat the lively location!! Awesome hotel.
