On the business front, the property sits mere blocks from Moscone Convention Center and boasts 117,000 square feet of its own meeting space (more than any other hotel in town). On the family front, guests can opt for kid-friendly turndown service that includes a bedtime book. Mission Grille, the on-site restaurant, serves contemporary California cuisine. The hotel also has three full-service lounges.

Great location, if you don't mind the crowds

The staff are very friendly and efficient. The hotel location is superb and central. However it gets a very high volume of traffic and the rooms and amenities show the resulting wear and tear. The bathrooms and fixtures in particular could use an upgrade. if you don't mind the crowds this is a great pick for a downtown SFO hotel within walking distance of a number of attractions and amenities. And of course the view from the View bar and lounge is incomparable, even though it makes for a rather expensive bar bill

poky poky

At the end of a long sightseeing day, a comfy bed just sends you over the top. Here they use feather toppers on the bed, that poke through. I woke up several times to check for bed bugs. Glad it was not bed bugs but the feather bed toppers seem old. There were 3 of us traveling, and two of us had this experience, the other one sleeps like a log.

In the middle of its class

The San Francisco Marriott Marquis has all the opulence of a high-end chain hotel with none of the personal touch of a boutique hotel. No longer a member with an elite ranking, our room lacked a few of the personal touches that you come to expect as a frequent traveler, but it was still a comfortable room with a desk and sitting area. Marriott has always wasted too much room space with advertisements and sales gimmicks, and this room was no exception.

Room accessible, as advertised

Quite comfortable, very good location (just steps from Union Square), very helpful concierges, good-sized bathroom, clean, willing to adjust cleaning schedule to when we were out. Wi-fi in lobby is free, and works fine (once you get the hang of how to connect). Free refrigerator if you ask for it. And nice indoor pool.

Great location

The hotel itself is located right in the heart of Union Square. The room and staff were great. Only down side really is if you are parking your car at the hotel there is a hefty price, about 60 dollars a night. Otherwise, great hotel!

Great Location

I like the Marriott for its location, but every time I stay there I am infuriated by the parking charges. Not much to do about it - they charge what they can get away with, but it is still very aggravating. Otherwise, perfectly nice giant city hotel.
