My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at the Chancellor - the building has a lovely heritage feel, with very pleasant staff, and considerate details. Free coffee, fresh cookies and complimentary popcorn in the lobby. As well there is a small bar with reasonable prices. The room was comfortable and the bathtub amazing. Plus it's very close to all a tourist might want to experience in San Francisco. We'll stay there again for sure.

Solid stay for just a night or two. Older property, no frills but good location on Powell, staff great and room itself clean and quiet. Bed and pillows really good. Will use again for short stays without need for lots of hotel services.
