Art-Deco whimsy, 1920s-era grandeur and wine hour near Union Square
The Art-Deco era is alive and well at this boutique Hotel Union Square, which was returned to its 1920s grandeur during an exhaustive renovation in 2008. Today, the hotel features signature staircases and opulent moldings, while loft-like guest rooms boast brick walls and mosaic murals. Another benefit: the world's only Dashiell Hammett Suite, named after the author of "The Maltese Falcon." The property is part of the Personality Hotels Collection. It sits mere blocks from the shopping of Union Square.
Highlights
- Located blocks from Union Square
- Fun and literary inspired Dashiell Hammett Suite
- Funky style and 1920s grandeur

PARKING
This hotel was GREAT! The staff was very nice and helpful. If you are parking a car with them, be careful.....they forgot to mention that it is $41 per day! This is a good rate for the area, but it wasnt mentioned that this service was not included in the original cost of the hotel.

Nice, great location, but need to put attention on the cleaning
Everything ok, but windows and shades were dirty & full of dust. One of the walls had some kind of liquid stain. I talked to the manager & did some cleaning, not all that was needed.

not worth it
We only had one day to spend in San Fran and we wanted to stay somewhere in this area. The cost of the hotel was NOT worth it. The location was so so.. difficult to get to and from with the traffic, parking garage location, and one way streets. The room was EXTREMELY small. You wouldn't be able to tell from the hotels websites photos but it is tiny. The bathroom is extremely small basically when your sitting on the toilet your knees could touch the door. The shower is so tiny its difficult to move around in and the sink you can barely wash your hands in. Overall a WASTE of money.

Perfect Getaway
This was a great pick. The hotel was clean, accommodating, and in a great location just a block or so from union square. It is a short walk to Chinatown. It is right by the cable cars that can take you to the wharf. My husband and I had a great time. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel is not large so not many amenities on site and the rooms are small. I didn't care about either of these things because we spent more time out and about and not a whole lot of time in our room. Our room was quiet, but I did call ahead and requested a quiet room away from the street front.

Great Location!! But....
Great Location. Cleanliness: Not Great. If you have no AC in the room, look on how clean the ceiling fan is. Mine was so bad that i got a coughing attack and could feel the particles of dust falling on my face. Also, do not take the pictures online for granted because they had a good photographer. When you check in, Make sure that they give you the right room that you booked. And if you say anything they might try to tell you that the pictures of the rooms online are sometimes different that what you get. So let me tell you, there are plenty of other hotels located in that area with people who know how to clean rooms and run a hotel. DON'T GO THERE!!!!!

Great location for conference at Moscone center
This hotel is within a few blocks of the Moscone center, shopping was nearby, and there were a ton of resturants close by as well. Fairly close to other attractions as well (about $11 taxi to Pier 39). because my room faced Powell St. you could hear the cabel cars untill around midnight but not bad for the location being so central.

Great hotel in the center of union square
This hotel is great. My friend and I stayed there for vacation. Hotel is very nice and clean. the people are helpful and are always willing to help with anything. It's in the best location of union square, with alot of shopping and eating. The cable car starts a block away and it takes you to the wharf. Also it has a stop for tour buses at union square which is two blocks from it. The only thing is the room with one bed is very small ask for two bed room.

Nice location... Average hotel
The location is awesome... Right close to Westfield mall and all the good shopping, etc. however the rooms weren't all that. First room we checked into was super small and had NO AC. I am a girl from Texas... We have To have AC!!!! The front desk was extremely helpful getting us moved to a room that was furnished with a window unit AC. It's a cute place... And for the price is was comfortable for the 4 nights spent there. THe cleaning lady was a doll...SUPER SWEET and very helpful!
