A great deal in downtown SF, only around $65 to $75 a night for a single. It's basic and not fancy, but clean and well-located in the theater/Union Square area. It has free wireless Internet, cable TV (altho basic/limited) plus a lounge which offers a couple computers for those who don't have their own, a microwave & adjacent laundry machines.... more

My family and I stayed there a week ago for one night as it was very close to our other hotel that didn't have room to accommodate us when we changed our plans. First impressions: Elevator area smelled like pee. It was horrible. We were told our rooms would be ready by 2:30 pm and it was not. The front... more

The room was ok, maybe they should put a phone on it. The girl of the recepcion wasn't very friendly, but the asian men was. The localization is perfect and my room, with bethroom was recently renovated. Very good. The internet free is another interisting thing. I recomend. more

We arrived at Spaulding in the late afternoon after a cross-country flight. We had good customer service at the desk upon arrival, and I really liked the minimalist decor in the lobby. It's small, but it's an older building and it's right in the Union Square district. The building features tall ceilings and a bright red wall, a few cushioned... more

I must say, that this was the most dreadful place I ever stayed in. First of all, I came to the hotel at 11:30 P.M., just after 24 hour trip from Europe. I was hoping of having a shower finally and a good night sleep after that long trip, but when I wanted to check in, there was noone at... more

This hotel is a joke. The price is ok, but the service, an insult. First of all, the staff/attendants are terrible. They are so unpolite and "bad mood". I will not cite the person who checked me in cuz I dont wanna see anyone fired, but this person was disrespectful, so not professional. I asked this person what was gonna... more

Very good location, centrally located close to Theaters and shopping. We were given a nice quiet room on the 6th floor overllooking the pool of the adjacent hotel property. We traveled with our teenage daughter who enjoyed being close to the hip boutiques such as H&M, Urban Ourfitter and Forever 21. The room had hard wood floors and was clean... more

I was just in San Francisco for a enviromental engineering conference at the Moscone Convention Center and stayed at the Spaulding Hotel near Union Square. First off the property is located footsteps from Powell Street / Union Square and easy walking distance to the convention center. The room was clean, simple, and a great value at $98.00 a night. Starbucks... more

I found this place when i got to San Francisco Union Square. Location was good. It looked decent from the outside. Rates were fairly decent (SO I THOUGHT). This is one of the scariest places I've ever stayed at. When i first got to the room, i thought, alright, it's small, looks old and dingy but for 85/night in downtown... more

If you want a romatic gettaway or a indulging weekend in SF, don't stay here. This hotel provides bacis needs like a bed, a bathroom and a door to locks behind you, but not much more. The advantages of this hotel are two, location and price. Very close to Union Square and very decent price, but you get what you... more
