Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel accommodated my first room because it was not in the greatest condition but they switched me and upgraded and it turned out to be a good stay."

Symphony Inn

"Hotel was priced fairly and was pleasantly surprised overall. Good hotel in a good location with things to do in walking distance and will get you anywhere in the city with a $15 max uber ride. Free parking is first come first serve but i went for a busy 3 day weekend and the backend parking spots were empty and had no problems. No issues and you got a good hotel for a good price."
