Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent
"We weren't expecting to enjoy our stay at the Chancellor as much as we did. It is an older property with a lot of charm and character, but was also spotlessly clean, with really helpful staff. And you could not get a better location! Parking was convenient - within a block in a secure garage - and relatively cheap. We will be back."

"Decent hotel and a short walk to the Piers and Chinatown.Also close by to the BART rail system to and from the airport.Room was clean with basic amenities such as coffee & tea making facilities,fridge and a safe.bathroom/shower was ok size too. The staff on the front desk were ok when I checked in,but upon checking out,no questions were asked about how my stay was or anything,they just took the key card and said I was 'all done'. My room was directly opposite the gym,so could hear people coming and going all day plus at times music being played in the gym.view from the room was a little disappointing too,but I was out exploring most of the time so it didnt matter too much.There was also some building work being done on the entrance whilst I was staying here.On the whole,I would stay here again."
