Hilton San Francisco Union Square

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent
"We had really great service with all the staff we interacted with—the luggage people, the registrar, the cleaning staff etc. The hotel is so well located, clean, and quiet. Good size rooms too! The only thing that would have made our stay a little better would be a microwave in the room, but that is very minor. Otherwise, highly recommend this hotel!!"
