“Tiny, but charming”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Really tight fit. Hallways are narrow, and front lobby is tiny. But the room was nicely furnished, clean, and the staff were great -- always friendly and helpful. I needed some workspace and rented the Queen Suite and it was perfect for my needs. Continental breakfast with a good range of options; afternoon snack had a nice selection of fruits and cheeses. Business center was also useful with a printer withour charge. If you want to be on Union Square, but you don't need the frills of a big hotel (pool,big lobby, restaurant), then this is a great choice.

“Cute little hideaway 100 meters from Union Square!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

If you are looking for a charming, quiet and conveniently located boutique hotel then look no further. I just got back from my trip to San Francisco. My parents had been recommending this hotel to me for a couple of years now and finally I got my chance to stay at The Inn at Union Square.

The wine and cheese in the evening was a great in between snack after lunch and right before dinner. And in the morning the same buffet table gets transformed into a breakfast nook. My boyfriend and I definitely took advantage of the included breakfast and snacks in the afternoon.

The complimentary WiFi worked great, the shower was warm and the TV was a flat screen so it had a great picture. I didn't need the iron and ironing board on this trip but as someone who usually likes to press her clothes just knowing it was there was a plus. The staff was so friendly and it's literally 100 meters from Union Square where some of the best shopping can be had! What more could you need?

“Great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights in December. Everything ran smoothly although we had to accomodate our 10 year old son in a couch in this boutique hotel (these rooms are supposed to receive two people).
Employees in particular Ann (she was terrific) were always willing to help out.
Cozy, friendly and well located.
If you´re going to san Francisco, this would be the place to stay.

“Great location, friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

We stayed at the Inn for 3 nights on 25th January 2012. When we arrived we were given room 404 which was beautiful inside but the windows did face a wall as it was a side room. I asked to be moved and Oliva moved us to room 501 which was at the front of the building. The room had a small lounge area with tv, a bathrrom and bedroom with tv. The room was absolutely spotless and spacious. The staff were absolutely wonderful. Helpful but unobtrusive. They made us feel so welcome and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast is a very casual affair taken on the landing. We didn't think we would bother with it but glad we did. Breakfast was self service. There was tea, coffee, cold boiled eggs, fresh fruit, cereals, extremely fresh pastries, bagels, cheese and juices. It was a really nice start to the day. The location of the Inn couldn't be better. Right on union square with Macy's, Bloomingdales and Saks nearby. The trollies to fishermans wharf were about a 5 minute walk away. I would highly recommend staying at the Inn.....we will definitely be going back.

Room Tip: 501 faces onto the street and the only noise we could hear was a saxophonist. Fantastic!

“Great Room, Great Location, Great Stay”

I stayed for three nights at the Inn while attending a conference at the Moscone West site. The Inn is very conveniently located for downtown (right off union square), BART, just up the street from Powel Station, and the Powel Street Cable Car. The staff were superb. Every single person from the reception to the cleaning staff were friendly and welcoming. I didn't have an iron in my room... but it arrive literally a minute after I called the front desk. Otherwise my King room was excellent, VERY quiet. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom spotless. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet and wine receptions (both served in small area on third and sixth floors so although tiny, conveniently set up to allow you to take tray back to your room). I saved about $100 per night staying here instead of at hotel recommended by my conference so I was very happy. I will certainly stay here again and recommend it highly.

Room Tip: My room was at the rear of the hotel on a small courtyard. Still enough light, but VERY quiet.. no s...
