Orchard Hotel

Good-sized rooms, new furnishings, well-appointed, higher-end finishes in the bathrooms. Not a lot of foot traffic. Comfortable bed (if you like them soft). Free high-speed wi-fi internet. Great location--just a few short blocks to Union Square on one end, and Chinatown on the other. Very close to the middle of everything, without having to be in the middle of everything. Initial room had problems with heating so transferred to a new room, which worked-out just fine. Attentive and responsive staff.

Everything is at proximity. Cable car, the wharf, union square, chinatown, and even strip clubs. when I got back from outside, the room was only superficially cleaned. Wet towels were on the rack again, trash can was not emptied, and it was messy. Awful housekeeping. I notified the front desk but they don't seem to care or try to compensate such discomfort. They only say oh we are sorry. Well, sorry won't do a thing. I would have given 8~9 out of 10 for the stay if not for such incidents. And the incidents continued for three nights.

My daughter and I loved this hotel. It was close to union square, nob hill, north beach and the cable car lines. it was an easy walk to the embarcadero too. The staff was very friendly and eager to help out with directions and recommendations. Our room was clean and nicely appointed with a good size bathroom. Also, the room was quiet which is nice for the guests with jet lag. I would stay at the Orchard again and recommend it to friends.

Large room, blocks from Union Square, cable car right at your door. Bathroom and bath items very luxurious. Very good breakfast. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel but it looked wonderful and we heard others at the bar saying it was excellent.

We totally enjoyed our stay at the Orchard Hotel in San Francisco. The room very clean, well decorated, and very quiet. The bed was comfortable and when we asked for a blanket instead of the comforter the staff brought one right up. The doorman was extremely helpful in giving directions, suggesting restaurants, arranging transportation back to airport, etc, etc. The location was great. The cable car, which takes you to Fisherman's Wharf, goes right by the hotel at the corner. Also, It's an easy 2 block walk to China Town and also only 2 blocks to Union Square. Lastly, the shopping at Union Square is fantastic! And if you don't want to carry your packages back up the hill to the hotel, you can catch the cable car! I would suggest buying a MUNI transportation pass when you get there. You can purchase for 1 day, 3 days, a week, etc. The pass gives you unlimited assess to the cable cars, street cars, and city bus system. All in all, a great weekend, I will plan on staying at the Orchard Hotel again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Orchard Hotel. The entrance to Chinatown is just one block down the road and a cable car stop is litterally in front of the hotel. Market Street is within three blocks and there are numerous little neighborhood bars and cafes close by. Parking fees are $34 per night (which is average), however, you can park down the road in a parking garage (Stockton Rd.) for slightly less. Overall a great experience.

Lots of places get mixed reviews. This place seems to receive consistently good reviews. All good things written were confirmed with my experience. Very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The room seemed plenty big. Many reviewers complain about the size of hotels in downtown areas. No complaints here. Nice size bathroom, closet, bed etc. Continental Breakfast is worth $10 a person per nite although provided FREE. Free dvd rentals is bonus if u r not into the nightlife scene. .

The room was very large, with a great bathroom, and huge shower (no tub, but we don't use them usually, so it didn't bother us). The only problem was that the toilet flush was running, and even though we mentioned it to one of the front desk person, nothing was done to fix it while we were there. The bed was very comfortable. Nice sheets and pillows. The free internet in the room is very nice, and the staff is very friendly. Also just at the corner is a cable car stop. Just jump on it as it passes to go over the hill to Fisherman's wharf! We had a great stay, and would definitely stay there again next time we go to San Francisco.

Stayed here for 2007 MLB All-Star Game. Location was good - about 20 minute walk to ATT Park and about 30 minute walk to Fisherman's Wharf. The walk to ATT Park goes right though the major shopping area which is nice. Walk to Fisherman's Wharf is VERY HILLY so be prepared! Amenities are nice...room is decent size for San Fran. We did not eat at the hotel so can't comment on that. Internet in rooms is NOT wireless, FYI. Nice bathrooms and clean. Rooms were made up instantly after we left them each day. Turn down service at night (but no chocolates!)

The Orchard on Union Square was a great choice for our San Francisco vacation. From a charming staff always available to assist you, to the spacious rooms and luxurious bath it provided a great get away. The rooms include CD/DVD players with a free selection of movies at check-in. The high-speed internet access in the lobby enabled us to check our e-mail. A continental breakfast is included in the rates. My wife loved the location because it was within walking distance to shopping and adjacent to the Powell Street Cable car.
