The hotel is an older completely remodeled facility. The amenities in the room were excellent, adequate lighting, chairs and electrical outlets. Room is fairly small but adequate. Parking in the area is a major challenge, and very expensive. Parking furnished at extra cost by the hotel was valet only, with disclaimers for damage to the car, and a 20 minute wait to retrieve it. We used the public garage which cost $46.00 per day.

Old building, but clean and updated. Cable cars go right down the street. Nice lobby. I traveled with my daughter and the two double beds was perfect. Short walk from Powell St BART station makes getting to and from the airport seamless. Cheap and frequent buses take you to all the sights in SF. Good

This was my second stay at the property. The location, rooms and staff have been consistently great. The only downside would have to be room noise. There were very loud guests in adjoining rooms that were yelling and partying well into 2am-3am each night. Also, guests were sitting out on the fire escape smoking and drinking right outside the bedroom windows, which was not only disruptive but unsafe. Again, the staff and facilities themselves were fantastic, but be prepared to hear everything from adjoining guests from inside your room.

Excellent hotel in a great location

The Chancellor is a lovely hotel located in Union Square. The rooms were small, but much larger than I expected. They are immaculately clean. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The location is very convenient for finding restaurants, shopping and touring SF. It’s a historic hotel, well cared for. The Chancellor’s standards for guest services, cleanliness and affordability are exceed ed my expectations.

Great Hotel

Even though I live in the East Bay, if I’m attending an event that will end late, I prefer to stay overnight in S.F. if a good hotel rate can be found. The first place I check is the Chancellor. I usually get a decent rate. It is centrally located near Union Square. It is still owned by the same family that built it after the 1906 earthquake. It has a home & family feeling - old San Francisco. It’s a great place.
