Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel is right near the cable car pick up and a short walk to either Union Square or Chinatown. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, and the area was centrally located to several things we wanted to see in San Francisco. Nice stay!

The staff at the Chancellor were super friendly! Our room was always clean after we’d come back after a day of adventure. Housekeeping made it special for our daughter by keeping her stuffed toys safe as well. I would definitely recommend the Chancellor to friends and family based on the staffs friendliness and how convenient the hotel was for everything we wanted to do. Walking distance was perfect for the cable car, the cable car even stopped right outside our hotel. Perfect location and great hotel if you love the historic building vibes. Would definitely come back!

No AC, no way to open the window. The door lock is bad and can’t read the card. The elevators were next to my bedroom and I could eat the mechanism all night long. Cleaning staff is efficient and nice. Desk staff is not performant.

We enjoyed our stay here. They have delicious cookies and coffee throughout the day. I forgot my son’s stuffed animal and when I emailed them, they immediately replied and mailed it to us. That meant a lot to us. Thank you.

I would rate my experience higher if not for the nonworking safe (did not report), and non working TV, reported and maintenance came immediately to adjust. One bedside lamp has burned bulb (did not report.) My room on the 2nd floor has no view. There is a small bathroom with a deep tub. There’s a rubber ducky in the bathroom to keep! There is no coffee service in the room but there is coffee and tea available in the lobby 24/7, as well as a water refill station. There is no a/c unit in the room but there is a charming ceiling fan. There is also a portable fan and portable heater stowed in the closet in case of uncomfortable temperature. The bed! The bed is extremely comfortable and I had a good night’s sleep. The bath towels are nice and thick. The bath amenities are subtly scented which I like. The staff all around is one of the friendliest in the industry, from check-in to check-out. The friendly bartender Rory accommodated my late arrival for a nightcap. The location can’t be neat, central to everything.
