OK, This is a real cave! Hard to believe they are allowed to operate under name of a hotel. Our travel agent mistakenly booked it based on similar named hotel. This one is horrendous! Dirty (I had to wash my hands after opening the curtains, thats how dusty/dirty they were), noisy, unsafe (yep, a 5$ travel lock would be safer... More

This hotel is excellent, the staff are brilliant and will help with any query they are pleasant and friendly. My room was cleaned everyday and had no problems at all. It can be a little noisy at night outside, but remember you are in a city. The hotels location is great your just a block from Union Square and all... More

Everything normal people try to avoid is right here under the Union Square Plaza Hotel roof. If you actually want to walk bare foot from your shower to your bed across a filthy carpet that looks like they’re out of a greasy, let’s vomit all night, rock club floor. If you like Shake ‘n’ Vac to mask the smell of... More

Placed well, close to Union Square. Very Cheap. Noisy (Traffic on one side, homeless people fighting for the best dumpster on the other side.) Very old and worn down, but the bed was acceptable. No bugs of any kind :-) All my ratings has to be seen inperspective to the very low price of the hotel!

Was looking for an inexpensive, but clean hotel, for a one night stay in SF. I read the reviews (you can see they're not bad for a 2 star hotel) but my experience was like a horror movie. Our room was on the 7th floor. It was the most disgusting hotel/motel room I've seen since, a motel6 would have been... More

Needs a make over, but if you don't mind then this is a super value hotel in a great location. Starbucks next door, loads of great diners, restaurants within easy walk. Hop on hop off tour bus point on Union Square is 5 mins walk (book online before you go). BART railway from SF airport (Powell Street) takes about an... More

My friend and I stayed in this hotel for four nights and were on a tight budget. Couldn't have asked for a better location! Union plaza is two blocks down where you can hop onto cable car to go down to fisherman's wharf or Ghiridelli square. Two blocks down from there is market street where the buses and underground tubes... More

I spent 6 nights here, for less than half of other downtown San Francisco hotels. The location is superb, across the street from the Curran and ACT theaters and less than 2 blocks from Union Square. Some people might be put off by details of the hotel -- the stone veneer on the front desk is cracked, the door and... More

I stayed at the Union square Plaza hotel in San Francisco for 5 nights, the position is great! We couldn't ask for a better one, it is cheap so don't expect anything special, but everything was ok, old furniture, but we got everything we needed! I just have to complain for the noise at night!

Arrived by car. No parking at hotel so you have two choices. Park in the street. Be very careful to read all the parking signs and note which side of the street you are. We got a £60 fine. The other is the paid parking, which we used. We made sure we could take the car in and out freely.... More
