The lobby has elderly residents so be kind. I will pay $75 max not $90. No AC, heat they control. Yes microwave ..."

Hilton San Francisco Union Square
"Inside was fairly clean. The outside could use a power spray cleaning at least every week from the smell of urine. Luggage Staff was extremely helpful. Check-in Staff that helped me could be more friendly to encourage customers to come back. Overall stay was okay to good."
