Top Union Square Hotel Reviews

Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Its at great location, rooms are renovated. Great place"

Hotel Triton

4/10 Poor

"Contrary to the what the hotels.com listing says: •There is NO restaurant or bar in this hotel! •The breakfast absolutely sucks. Stale carbs and sorry fruit. Nothing looked appealing. Other items you might miss: •no coffee maker, fridge, or desk in the room. Room is very small - not unusual for older SF hotels Security lax - no card required for elevator. No physical door restraint other than deadbolt. Location is good - close to so much of downtown. Unfortunately close to street people as well, who screamed through the night, making sleep impossible. Value for the price is barely ok. Would appall many tourists, but be meh for those used to downtown SF hotels and prices. Nothing about it to tempt me back. "

Handlery Union Square Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Parking is $70+ a day at the hotel. It was easier to park slightly down and across the street for a max of about $45 a day. There was no microwave in the room to warm food that had gotten cold but the security at the front door whose name I believe is Darold was great and took us to warm it in the connected restaurant. It served its purpose."

King George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was terrific, The building was very old - which was part of it's charm. We felt that the hotel made everything as nice as possible .The linens were top notch. The sheets were soft and comfortable, the towels were plush and the highest quality. Everything was the best. They gave the impression that their guests felt welcomed and cared for. The bed was comfortable and the amenities were perfect! We will stary there again!"

Fitzgerald Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Would not recommend. Staff didn’t talk to you, wouldn’t even raise their head when you walked past. The room was tiny, you walk in the door and your bed is right there. The door into the hall you could almost see the hallway. The bathroom door wouldn’t close at all. The fan wobbled so much we were afraid it was going to fall down on us, the room was very hot with no ac so the fan was our only option. There was no way to escape in the event of a fire in the hall. After the amount of walking you do we wanted to come back and relax and watch some tv. The tv kept pausing every 4 minutes and the remotes barely worked . The breakfast was very basic, brown bread with only jam no peanut butter. Two different kinds of oatmeal and some gross looking fruit. Even for the price I would not recommend staying here."
