Pretty nice hotel located right there in Nob Hill (directly across the street from the Fairmont and next to the InterContinental Mark Hopkins). It's not cheap, but I suspect it's less expensive than either of those options. You're just a couple of blocks (pretty much straight DOWN) to Chinatown. Lots of other options of things to do within walking distance,... More

Decent place to stay. Nice location at the top of Nob Hill. Just a few blocks from Union Square and China town. If you plan on doing a lot of coming and going to/from the hotel, i recommend getting the Muni pass which gives you unlimited street car rides. Which other wise are $6 for one-way. My room was 503.... More

This hotel was a comfortable place to return to after a busy day sightseeing in an amazing city. The location was convenient for Union Square, China Town, Fisherman's Wharf and the piers - it's located on the top of a steep hill though - so you'll want a sit down when you get back for the day! We found the... More

It is a very nice hotel, don't get me wrong, but there are just a few wrongs in the room that prevent me from giving this place a 5. The location is great, right atop Nob Hill. It is a big property with a very nice drive-through area to drop off luggage and the sort. Door-men, beautiful lobby, very very... More

Situated 3 blocks up from Union Square, take your flat shoes. Good location, easy access to shopping areas, the bay, China Town. Attentive staff, reception and lobby area a little dull due to lack of natural light. Room comfortable and spacious, I had an inside room that looked on to the court yard a little difficult to judge the weather... More

The Renaissance is a great hotel offering a great place to stay while on business in San Francisco. The staff are friendly and attentive and the property is noticeably upgraded. For Marriott Rewards members, there is a great lounge with views of the skyline. A couple negatives: the hotel is at the top of Nob Hill... You'll get a workout... More

We used Marriott points to book a 2 night (Thursday/Friday) stay. We were pleasantly surprised with our room. We thought it was a good size for a San Francisco hotel. The bathroom had a lot of quality fixtures and marble. The toilet area was marble on the walls, and was equipped with an arched shower curtain rod, high-pressure shower faucet,... More

We needed a place to stay for one night. As we were only going to be there to sleep, we wanted something reasonably priced. We had requested a quiet room, which usually means an inside room. When we were checking in, we were told that we could get an outside room on the quiet side. Since this was a Saturday... More

The staff here are very friendly and can't do enough to help you We stayed here for our honeymoon and although its a lovely hotel, it's certainly a 'business venue' I.e. wifi in the bedrooms is $14.95 and that was a bit dodgy. The lobby and restaurant is quite formal. The gym is really good and we never tried the... More
