We have had many lovely weekends in San Francisco - the Chancellor Hotel seems like home away from home. It has been said before but worth repeating....the hotel is friendly, safe, perfect location, and most of all....clean, clean, clean. Beds are comfy and for warmish evenings, the ceiling fan is quiet and efficient - keeps the room comfortable. If you... More

The room while small had so much character and the bed was great along with the best pillows-even a body pillow was available. The complementary teas and coffee along with the cookies and apples...

Stayed here to attend a workshop. Flew in to SFO and had easy BART to Union Station and short walk up Jill to hotel. Loved looking down on street cars and traffic and listened to a most excellent trumpet player in the Square for several hours. Awesome. Food was good and plentiful at restaurant. But I am used to a... More

Our recent stay at the Chancellor matches all of our previous stays. We are welcomed at the door by the bellman and front desk personnel who are very helpful. The rooms are small as you would expect in an older, classic San Francisco hotel. They have the deepest tubs and rubber duckies to splash in the bubbles. Free wi-fi is... More
