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.

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!

Small cute hotel with great location
The location is perfect, right by Union Square downtown. It's the perfect location if you are planning to do a lot of shopping. The room is quite clean and tidy but is far less impressive compared to the photos shown

Prime Location
Its location on Powell Street places the trolly outside your door. You can take it all the way to Fisherman's Wharf. Fun. Fun. The hotel was about 1000 feet from my Convention's hotel, and its cost was much less than that hotel. Besides coffee in your room, you can get coffee downstairs from 7-10 am. Best of all was the complimentary wine between 5-6 pm. Yes!

It looks good on the net but it's not in real life!
Hotel has a wonderful location and this is why I decided to stay there! The lobby and frontdesk are ok. The personel is very nice and this was a good point for them. I stayed 2 nights: the first one they gave me a room on the 6th floor giving on the courtyard. The room was good, the decoration as on the pictures. But the smell! God! It smelt the old carpet so much! this was awful! The next morning I asked to get another room: they gave me one on the 2nd floor giving on the street: lots of noise! but no smell! But this time the problem was that the heat did not work!!! I asked for them to come and check: nothing was done and they told me they'd bring another heat but they did not... I spend my second night beeing cold in my bed... And the shower in the morning was taken in a chilly atmosphere!:) So, as a conclusion, if you want to spend a good time in SFO, don't go to this hotel. There are many other that can provide you a better experience!

Great Staff
The staff and room were great! At first when we checked in the view and room were not that great. But we called down to reception and they immediatly upgraded us since it was my wife's birthday that day, and we were going for her birthday weekend. They also gave us a complimentry wine bottle for the occasion.

wow did it ever smell lemony
it's nice to be at the center of the city, but because it was on the powell cable car line, the room options for us were: in the back with no view, in the front with a view and noise. we opted for no view. location was great, right off of powell bart, so no rental car required to deal with airport or getting around. the staff was pleasant and it was nice that they had wine and coffee (night and morning, respectively). the pretty small room (think europe, or regular san francisco) had the overpowering smell of cleaning products that we couldn't get rid of, no matter how long the window was open. the wi-fi was weak on the 6th floor. but the design of the hotel was great. very well thought through. mostly what sticks out was the smell of the room. other than that, totally right on.
