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 location, small rooms a little stuffy..
Staff was great, location was close, but for me, Id rather stay in a newer place with larger rooms.. I will say that the place was cute, and the wife liked it.. I'm always amazed at how expensive staying in downtown sf is.. The place was close to everything, bart, the trolly , shopping.. all within one block.

Perfect Romantic Getaway
The hotel was perfect if you want the San Francisco experience. The staff was very friendly. Plan on parking your car and using the public transit offered. Cable cars and train will get you to the popular spots. Shopping and dining are all within walking distance. Be prepared to pay for parking, it's worth it. You'll pay just as much at all the tourist spots. The room was clean and new. It has a perfect feel, an aged exterior with a refurbished interior. The rooms have a very modern look. The pictures are accurate. I plan on staying here every time I visit the city.

Use the Sightseeing Hop on Hop Off buses at Union Square. That is a better option.

Shopping in the city
We took our family to San Francisco to do college visits and shop in the city. The hotel staff were great, we had an issue when we checked in we had a room with only a king bed and there were 3 of us. They got us a cot for the night and switched us to a room with 2 beds the next two nights, staff even moved our luggage for us, and they didnt charge us an additional fees for bigger room. Very clean and great location!!! I would definetly stay there again. July 2012

First time in San Fran
Great Location and Staff, Small rooms
This hotel is properly characterized as a 3 star location. It is small. The rooms are small and its not particularly luxurious. However, the location is fantastic. Mere steps away from the Muni (including the cable cars!), Union Square, shops and restaurants. The staff was friendly and informative. I would stay there again as a single traveler but ask for a larger room.

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!!!!!
