“Nice Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

Small but enjoyable hotel providing great value. Location so close to Union Square was great. Accommodation was clean with well appointed rooms. Loved the wine and cheese touch late in the afternoons. Would definitely come again.

“Friendly quiet and charming boutique hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

My husband and I had stayed here a couple of years ago and loved it, so it was my first choice for this trip. I stayed here for 6 nights while attending a conference at the Moscone convention centre and was looked after so well. The staff are unfailingly friendly and helpful, and came up with good restaurant suggestions nearby to suit the various occasions. I managed to get to a couple of the cheese and wine gatherings in the evenings before the conference really kicked in and enjoyed the chance to chat to a range of interesting people, which seems to be a feature of this hotel. Having continental breakfast available from 7 was great on mornings with an early dash to the conference - it was about a 15 minute walk from the hotel to the conference centre.

My room was great. Quiet is much more important to me than a view for a trip like this, and it was amazing how quiet the room was when just outside the front of the hotel was the hubbub of Union Square. The beds are also extremely comfortable.

I now feel this is my home away from home in San Francisco, and could not imagine going anywhere else. I'm sure I'll be back.

“2 nights of our 10 day honeymoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

We stayed at The Inn at Union Square Wed Nov 21to Fri Nov 23rd. Being our first trip to San Francisco, the location of this hotel could not has been better. From SFO airport we hopped on the BART transit system to the Powell station and made the 4 block walk to the hotel.
Just steps from Union Square, great shopping, great restaurants and tourists stops such as double decker buses and cable cars made getting around so easy.
The continental breakfast was amazing as well as the wonderful wine and cheese in the evenings. The staff was so friendly and helpful with anything you need.
We did not spend much time at the hotel but when we did it completely met our expectations. Rooms are on the smaller size but the price was unbeatable.

“Great Inn on the Square”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

I visited SF recently after a gap of 5 years and picked this hotel for the good location. We were pleased to stay here as it suited our needs for this visit which was for a long weekend in October. The rooms were much better than we could have expected and off course the location was heart of town so we were happy that we booked this Inn.

“Absolutely Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

We stayed her for a week of our honeymoon and could not have picked anywhere better to stay. The hotel is fairly small (6 floors) which gives it more of a boutique feel than being a big corporate. The room itself was very comfortable and quiet despite the hotel being less than a minutes walk from union Square. Each floor has a small kitchen area with tea and coffee and there is also wine out in the early evening and breakfast in the morning (muffins / toast / cereal / fruit - that sort of thing).

All the staff were fantastic and made us feel so welcome. The manager has left us a letter along with some champagne when we arrived congratulating us on our wedding and everyone who worked there was friendly and helpful and really helped to contribute to a fantastic week in San Francisco.

In short, I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone visiting SF!
