I stayed here during a conference where the price was raised to $240/night. If the price had been quite a bit lower as it might normally be, I probably wouldn't complain much. The location is hard to beat in terms of proximity to Union Square and the Moscone Center, and the front desk staff was friendly. Other reviews have noted that the rooms are dated--and I found that to be true as well. But, my room was clean. The wifi worked, and the rooms were insulated from noise from adjoining rooms. However, there was hardly any noise isolation from the outside. I was on the 6th floor facing Geary Street, and I could hear just about everything going on well into the evening. The heat in my room was also not working until my last night there--and that combined with very thin covers left me pretty cold (though the bed itself was comfortable). When the heat did work, it made a strange noise reminiscent of a dying cat, so I ended up turning it off anyway. One tip for taller or larger travelers: I am 5' 2'', and the shower head was only 2 inches above my head. So if you're much taller than me, you'll be bending down to rinse your hair. You'll also find the bathroom overall to be quite small.…

Dear Clara, Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback with us. Firstly, we are sorry that you found the value on the higher side. Generally, we are considered as one of the most reasonably priced accommodations in the area. Still, for the best deals and discounted offers, you can always stay updated with our email. We are glad to hear that you liked the location and front desk service. We are definitely considering to update the property so as to provide our guests with an enhanced experience. We are happy that you found the room immaculate and liked the amenities offered. Again, we are sorry for the external noise that bothered you. Wish you'd told this to us earlier which, in turn, would have enabled our staff to shift you to a more peaceful room. Also, we will look into the issue with the heater and fix it. Again, we have noted your suggestion regarding the shower height and bathroom size and will definitely pass it to the management. We hope that you will give us another chance to host you better! Best Regards, Union Square Plaza Hotel Customer Care Team

I was so excited to find this hotel. It was reasonably priced and perfectly located right next to Macys and across from the theatres. The rooms are basic but clean and functional. It's old but that just adds character.

I couldn't even stay one night because of the unpleasant smell of the room, the bed was poorly made when I arrived and in general the hotel is a very ugly place. my mistake because I thought it would be better but there was no way to stay there. I moved to a nearby hotel and my trip to SF was wonderful. Hope they can do something with the smell (6th floor)

Hi Javierchik08, Thank you for voicing your concern to us. However, we are extremely disappointed to hear that you left without a first-rate experience. We will definitely do something about the unpleasant smell. We aim to provide our guests with the best and surely this is not the standard of service that we aim to give out. We are sorry for letting you down. But we request you not to evaluate us solely on the basis of this unfortunate incident and give us another chance to serve you better in the future! Best Regards, Union Square Plaza Hotel Customer Care Team

I intended to stay at this hotel 2 nights. The hotel is a budget hotel but I found it clean and the bed was fine. The staff at check-in was very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the street was torn up during the night until after 11 pm. At about 2:30 am the city started power washing the alley right below the rooms. I did not get any sleep that night. I asked the front desk about the issues but there is nothing they can do since it is outside of their control. I am not sure how much of this goes on on a regular basis. The location is fairly noisy in general. But if you can deal with noise and are on a tight budget the hotel is fine to stay at.

This was the most affordable hotel in the Union square area - rooms are outdated and beds are uncomfortable (doesn't matter much since your out and about most of the day) - hotel looks old but i guess its worth what you pay - Bad thing about it is that the housekeeping personal are not to be trusted - they went in and made 1 bed and vacuumed the floor and while they were at it they took some change we had on top of a nightstand (even though we put out the DO NOT DISTURB sign out)

Dear Karla R, Thank you for posting your review! We are glad that you liked the value offered and enjoyed your stay. However, we are astonished to hear about the issue you have mentioned with the housekeeping. If that's the case (which we hope it isn't), it needs to be addressed in a serious manner. We will investigate the matter further and ensure that this does not repeat. Also, we will instruct the staff further on how to respect the DO NOT DISTURB sign. We hope to serve you more successfully in the future! Best Regards, Union Square Plaza Hotel Customer Care Team
