Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay, the room and the bathroom were very clean and smelled delightful. The staff were very friendly and polite. We loved the vintage feel of the hotel and felt very comfortable. We will be returning next spring to attend a San Francisco Giants game and we will be staying at the Chancellor Hotel!"
