Good spot in Union Square

Nice stay at the Hilton Union Square. Rooms were recently renovated and quite nice. Only downside was you could hear doors from other rooms slamming during the night but location and price made up for it.

Nice location, big hotel that feels big

Outstanding location in the heart of downtown San Fran. Make no mistake, this is a big beautiful hotel. Which has its advantages and disadvantages. As a long-time Hilton loyalist, this was not my favorite hotel. Hotel has the amenities to impress but hotel is busy and lacks the individual attention that makes any hotel a special experience. Parking is difficult, and service is good but not outstanding. Busy lobby is always noisy and not relaxing, convention traffic made elevator service slow and concierge was not identifiable. Bottom line - overall good what you would expect from an upper-end Hilton property but nothing special.

Very spacious, clean and comfortable

Hilton has three towers. Very huge and busy hotel. Very impersonal. Had to find you own way to the hotel room. The rooms are clean and very spacious. Bed is comfortable. That is very important to get a good night's rest when one is attending conference.

Comfortable Hotel in a good location

I was in SF for a conference. The hotel had great amenities and easy access (e.g., short walking distance) to some nice tourist things to do in the area. Very close walking distance to the BART which makes it easy to get to and from SFO. Clean room and friendly staff.

Take the BART to and from the airport - it's only $8.25 each way and saves big time on cab fare!

comfortable

room, which was originally allocated to me was horrible. It was for 'elderly'. I however requested a change and then one that was offered to me was definitely very good, but more expensive. I enjoyed my stay.

Tower 1 -- rather noisy

This is a great hotel. I have stayed here a couple times. However, this time, we were on the 11th floor on Tower 1. It was extremely noisy. You could hear every word of every conversation in the hall, every door close and the street noise was loud as well. I did not notice this time last time I stayed there. Perhaps the towers are constructed differently.

Convenient Reliable No Hassle Hotel

I was there for a work related trip. The hotel is popular for conferences, conventions etc. The location is great, a short walk to Powell Bart station. The room was great and was kept clean. The room was very comfortable for the purpose of relaxing or finishing up the work after a full day of work. In the past, I have stayed in the hotel with kids.

Money-saving tip: In Hotel

The Wireless Internet was 12.95 a day. However, if you are an AT&T customer, choose that option on the logon page and you don't have to pay.
