This hotel was everything that we expected, just as described on their website. Valet parking was efficient, but expensive (expected for downtown san fran) The room was cozy - but large enough for our suitcases to be on the floor without impeding our space too much. One of the nights we were there was a Saturday night, and at about... More

I stayed here for 3 nights as a solo traveller, and felt very safe. As others have said, the location is amazing, with easy access to Powell Street Station and transport to the airport. My room was small but comfortable, and being in San Francisco I wanted to enjoy the scenery rather than stay in my room! I'd really recommend... More

The hotel is reasonably priced considering the location which is very central and close to transport. Although the room was smallish, it was very clean with all amenities working. The only annoying thing was the slowness off the one lift that was inadequate for the number of hotel guests. The street noise (level 8) was at times a bit loud... More

We stayed there for 3 nights. The location is superb and cannot be better. It is in thr central downtown and a few minutes walk to the cable car which will take you to most of the attractions. It has basically all you need. Staff was friendly and we hv free wifi in our room. Downsides - be prepared for... More

We stayed for 3 nights Mon-Thurs in room 601 (Centennial Club Room, front of the hotel overlooking Powell St). Location: as others have commented, this hotel is perfectly situated with everything a tourist needs right on the doorstep. Union square is THE shopping center of San Francisco and all public transport, tour buses etc run in and out of it... More

Spent Christmas Dec 23 - 27 in this hotel, though it is a small business hotel, we booked the family room and it was cozy. 2 double beds in one room and 1 queen in the other connected by the bathroom/hallway. The hotel is clean and the towels are plentiful & white/new. We were out most of the day and... More

Great location right around the corner from Union Square, in a great shopping area. The historic cable car runs right in front of the hotel, and you can catch hop-on/hop-off bus tours right around the corner at Union Square. Breakfast is provided in the tea room, basic toast, muffins, cereal, etc. Rooms are smaller, but still had enough room to... More

The Startford was great. We are a family of 5, we stayed in the family room which had one queen bed in one room and 2 queens in the other. It was small but very comfortable and right in the main street around the corner from Union Square and Macys. The cable car runs right past the front door, it... More

Great location: next to shopping, restaurants, and transpertation. Room was very small but great for the budget stayer. Would stay again!
