SAN FRANCISCO MARRIOTT UNION SQUARE

"Right in the middle, right where you want to be"

This hotel is another older building conversion by Marriott, and they have created what I consider standard Marriott quality. The rooms are a little small by modern standards, but the space has been maximized with sliding instead of swinging doors, etc., and get a corner room if you can; those are roomy and nice. The bar, restaurant and lobby are a little small too, but well appointed and the customer service is good. You're a block from Union Square, right in the middle of the unique urban bliss that is San Francisco; cable cars go by literally right next to the hotel, and everything is within walking distance, which is a lot better than driving in downtown S.F. If you get a room on the north side up high you get amazing views of the bay, Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Angel Island, and the rest of downtown. So good that with the decent wired internet and furnishings set up for business, I just stayed in the room and worked, until it was time to walk to AT&T Park and help the Giants win the World Series. Again.

"Great Location - Great Stay"

My first time staying in the Union Square District and we really enjoyed it. This Marriott is perfectly located on the corner of Sutter and Powell, right across the street from a Starbucks and a Walgreens, and adjacent to a cable car stop - just at most 2-3 blocks away from Chinatown, shopping, dining and night life. The rooms weren't spectacular, but still nice. Service was excellent and the room was spotless.

"Great location, spotless efficient rooms"

Absolutely in the perfect location one block off of Union Square. Typical city Marriott hotel with nice and friendly staff. King room had a tiny bathroom but double room was much much more spacious....now views of the city from our rooms. Breakfast buffet was adequate...and concierge lounge closed on the weekends. Would choose again when in the area...

"Great Hotel -Location!"

Just completed a 5 day stay. The location of this hotel is everything. One block away from Union Square, great restaurants, 5 min walk to BART, 10 min drive to SOMA, Fisherman's Wharf, and Castro. The rooms have nice decor and are spacious. Staff super pleasant and attentive. Some things to keep in mind about staying here: 1. Parking a car expensive! Its cheaper to Uber around the city than pay for a rental and parking. 2. The area is safe at night but keep an eye out for the homeless. There's just a large gathering all over the city. 3. Sugar Cafe -it's up the street on Sutter. Great coffee and food. A must if you are in the area. 4. If you are on a budget there are good chains near by like Chipotle, Jamba Juice, and Golden Gate Grill. Plus china town is a 5 min walk from the hotel.

"Street noise is a problem, otherwise a nice place."

We stayed in a corner room on approximately the 10th floor for 3 nights in December. The room was clean & well appointed in the standard Marriott style and the staff were professional & friendly. I only had one gripe with the service: I had requested a high floor when I booked almost 4 months in advance and when we arrived the staff were unable to fulfill this. I'm picking they accept requests but don't actually action them until check in which is a bit poor. The big draw back for us though was the street noise, I guess you trade that for location as the hotel is very central but I've stayed in hotels on busy streets before that were whisper quiet so I know it can be done.
