2 star Union Square Independent hotels in San Francisco, California

Exactly what I was looking for. Great location! Chinatown in vew and steps to Union square. Helpful staff. Felt safe as female traveling alone. Very clean. Comfortable firm mattress beds. Nice towels. Windows that open. Free wifi. Loads of outlets. No valet, but parking is down a block where they valet for you. You can unload and load in front if need to. Slept really well. I'm coming back.

I'm used to staying in hotels that are generally more modern and quite a bit pricy (for example, Westin hotel resorts, Hyatt, etc...). So I was not sure what to expect from a small hotel like this one. My significant other and I had a very pleasant experience, the room was lovely and comfortable despite the fact that it was smaller than a normal hotel room. But it was perfectly sized for 2 people. They serve breakfast on each floor every morning which is nice, and even though it's supposed to be over at 7 am, it stays outside in the hall for a good few hours. The lobby and receptionists were warm and welcoming. I loved the vintage, "antique" feel for the hotel and overall I had a great stay (3 nights).

So good and cheap hotel near the downtown.

Queen bed, small closet, sink in the bedroom, bathroom with shower stall, not tub. BUT when you consider that this is a hotel in a large city, directly in the middle of the city, the room was very well kept, cool, clean and comfortable. Our bed was very comfortable. We asked for a nice restaurant and the hotel staff sent us to a wonderful restaurant. We asked for them to schedule a shuttle for us back to the airport, that went very smoothly. Here's the breakfast menu: 3 types of cereal, milk available, they alternated between bananas and sliced oranges, wheat or white toast, plain bagels, and english muffins. They had coffee, tea, hot chocolate orange juice, lemonade and cranberry juice. We really enjoyed our stay. As many others have mentioned, it is an INCREDIBLE location! Minutes from the wharves, lombard street, lots of shopping (you are in union square so within a couple blocks you have everything from old navy to luis vuitton), a couple blocks from chinatown, etc. If I were to schedule another trip to San Francisco, I would absolutely stay in this hotel again. Only complaint: slow elevator!

I have stayed in the fancier more expensive hotels around Union Square but prefer Berersford Hotel!

convenient location but last block steep up hill clean quiet place, good continental breakfast

It was the same price as a hostel we stayed at. It was rated as a two star so we expected a dump but it was clean and the bed was great. Included continental breakfast too!

The artwork in the hotel adds considerably to its character. The hotel is very good value, with a free continental breakfast. The WIFI worked very well. The staff were friendly and looked after my bags for most of the day after I'd checked out.

The room was incredibly small but once you adjusted it was quite comfy and homey. The location is excellent and the staff went above and beyond to provide fantastic customer service.

It so disappoints me when I think back to the reviews for this Hotel. People complaining about the elevator of all things. This Hotel is in an very Old building in the heart of San Francisco. That's the charm. The history includes on old elevator. On that, I never got stranded in it. As for the room. It felt like I was back in an Australia pub room. Very basic. TV worked. Internal Bathroom small but neat. a small fan heater to warm the room worked ok. Don't be discouraged because the prices I paid per night was great. San Fran prices go from these cheap rooms to very pricey accommodation. For value for money you cant look past this hotel.
