We've stayed before at the Chancellor and really like this hotel. The service is excellent and the staff very helpful. I tore a ligament and needed a wheelchair and they provided it, they were attentive about any need for extra pillows or assistance, etc. I will be staying here whenever we travel to San Francisco.

The hotel is a great value located in the center of Union Square. Very good service checking-in. It's an old San Francisco hotel remodeled with small rooms. It was quiet on the 7th floor.

Just Perfect

It was so far about what I was expecting. It’s exceptional in every way. The bed is incredibly relaxing and comfortable. The room is just the right temperature and extremely clean. I had everything I needed. I had fresh water and coffee all the time and the staff is so friendly. I highly recommend this place. It’s also essentially local near everything

This is a classic old hotel. It is in good condition and the room is clean. They did offer parking, which is essential in this neighborhood. The fine print says the car must not be keyless to be eligible for their garage. How many new cars are not keyless? Also my motorcycle which is keyless, was not eligible. It is an additional $45 dollars a day for their garage, and I don’t know how much the garage down the street is charging, but I didn’t have much of a choice.

The staff at the Chancellor Hotel is exceptional. Our flight got cancelled, but they held our reservation for us (even though the hotel was fully booked) and we were able to immediately go to the room as soon as we arrived the next day. They were very welcoming and it was nice to have snacks and drinks available in the very pretty lobby. The room was very nice. We had to get used to the sounds of the city again, but that was to be expected. There is a restaurant next to the hotel and the area has lots of restaurants within a short walk. We didn't have time, but there is also lots of shopping in the Union Square area. The BART train to the airport is about a 10 minute walk and the trolly stops at the hotel. Taxis and such are also easy to get. We accidentally left a phone charger in the room. So, we immediately called and spoke with the head of housekeeping. She very graciously found our charger and shipped it back to us! Very genuinely nice people - highly recommend!
