This property is well-situated in the Union Square district. It is a pleasant walk to the Moscone Center, at which the conference I was attending was held. We held some concurrent business meetings here: the meeting rooms were spacious and well-equipped. Catered food was pretty good. Fitness center is good; but tends to be crowded in the morning. Sleeping rooms,... More

We used this hotel for our incentive program consisting of around 150 attendees. We had a wonderful experience! The staff was great to work with, we were especially fond of Victor the banquet captain, he was so helpful all week. I was immediately impressed with the property, it was one of the nicer Marriotts I have ever stayed at. It... More

This is a new Marriott and it definitely shows. Most Marriotts feature out-of-date decors in their rooms, but the room decor at this Marriott is very modern while also consistent with the Marriott brand. It is a great location and within walking distance to many key SF spots and restaurants. The Concierge Lounge features a great view of the Macy's... More

We booked this hotel 2 weeks prior to travel. It gave us a great rate, compared to others in the area. Great location, a few blocks from all the great shopping, right around the corner to China town, you can catch the bus around the corner. Cabs easy to get. Room clean & quite, never heard another person in the... More

This was a nicely maintained Marriott's hotel with squeaky clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a very nice restaurant. We actually tried going to a couple of nearby Italian restaurants for dinner before deciding to eat at the hotel. One was right across the street (Scala). We looked at the posted menu and found that a dinner salad was $12, the... More

This hotel is centrally located and right next to the trolly on Powell Street. This is extremely convenient, but I would recommend ear plugs because the bells from the trolly ding at all times of the day and night. The hotel staff is extremely friendly and always willing to help out, very nice. The lobby is a nice quiet place... More

This is a standard Marriott hotel, with all that you are accustomed to in the Marriott brand. Lobby is small and feels cramped. Check in and check out was a breeze. Elevators seemed old, but worked fine. Room: We got a room in a high floor that had a nice view. The bed was too soft for our taste. The... More

I was greeted by some great people at the front desk, upgrade was ready as was promised over the phone. Room was clean and well maintained. Only problem is the air conditioning, like all American hotels, noisy and unable to keep room comfortable all the time. Hotel has a nice bar and restaurant. Bellman made arrangements for a car at...

Located one block north of Union Square, my wife and I stayed here for one night. The check-in area in the lobby was narrow and cramped but we found the front desk check in-person very efficient and friendly. Our room was a standard king size bed (very soft mattress with foamy consistency) with a small bathroom. Our room lacked a... More
