Keep in mind the bathrooms are EXTREMELY TINY like a hand distance from toilet to sink to shower.. no matter what size room unless you get the suite the bathrooms are insanely small so if that’s not your cup of tea book elsewhere. Hotel was nice.. construction and paint fumes when we walked in but other wise in the process of being renovated which is nice. Really convenient location, loud at night otherwise good deal for a lower priced hotel. No housekeeping unless you stay over 4 days

Hi Sienna, Thank you for taking the time to review the Cartwright Hotel Union Square, where you never pay a resort/urban fee. I am so happy you were able to take advantage of our great location. It is nice to have so many options in our area for food and drink, many less than two blocks away. We appreciate the acknowledgment of our staff. They pride themselves in authentic customer service. We look forward to seeing you again. Cheers,

This hotel was great. Good location. I loved that they kept the old bone and character of the hotel but updated where they could. The hotel is 100yrs old so the room size reflects that still good. I almost didn't stay here because some of the comments made me feel it was unsafe. As a solo female traveler I felt as safe as I could in a big city. Even walked a couple blocks for a late night snack and was fine. I do wish they mentioned that they charged your card before you arrive at the property. Only because I thought my card info was stolen for a bit.I will be staying here again sometime.

Missed my flight, and needed a place to crash for a few hours mid day. The staff were so friendly and accommodating! The room while nicely furnished showed some signs of wear and tear. Good location, comfy bed, and most of all great staff! Enjoyed my time here more than my stay at the five star Taj Hotel, and spent a lot less!!!!

Everything about this spot was amazing. Really lovely staff that were super helpful to travellers, great location near the transit centres, right across the street to a Walgreens and 711 for some small pick ups. Only small issue was the size of the bathroom but other than that the room was super spacious, good looking and comfortable. Could not recommend a better spot to stay.

Hi Kenneth, Thank you for giving our hotel a try. We are a 111 year-old boutique hotel, so yes we are an older property. However, I think our location, value, and service do set us apart from many of the other three-star hotels in San Francisco. Our rooms do not have a safe but we do offer safety deposit boxes for guest use at the front desk (no charge). Hopefuly you can give us a chance after our lobby renovation is complete. Take Care!

Heat location for a tourist. Near Union square and many places to eat. I highly recommend the Sushi spot at the corner. The guy at the front desk was really friendly and accommodating. I caught a 5am flight and arrived at the hotel around 9am. I was able to get an early check-in he was very nice and did everything in his power to get a room. The only thing was service was being done on the cable network in the area so no Tv but he recommended getting a ROKU and the trip was saved. The room was small but very efficient and clean. Highly recommend staying here for a single person or a couple.

My stay at the Cartwright was nice overall. The rooms are very small but I’m sure that’s common in SF. Some of the outlets didn’t work so that was a bummer and the bathroom was very tiny. There were a few items in the room and places I noticed that were not as clean as I’d hoped but it was not anything terrible. Probably would not stay here again since there’s so many options in SF BUT it was still a nice experience as I still had fun on my trip with a place to sleep!

Hi Laiali, My apologies for a delayed response. I originally responded on March 19th but it was rejected, because I included my email address. I wanted to get more feedback regarding the places in the room that you felt could have been cleaner. We consistently use these reviews as opportunities to improve our product and service. Perhaps you can message me through the Expedia reservation portal. Cheers,

Clean and basic hotel room in a convenient location. Property conditions are in rough shape as it’s an old building but bathroom seemed recently updated. My room had a mild musty smell and it’s very loud at times with slamming doors and shouting in the hallway. The window unit is extremely disruptive when turned on. Overall it was an okay stay, I am not sure I would book here again. For the same price point and area, the King George hotel is a much more comfortable option.

Hi Janice. Thank you for giving our hotel a shot. We will inspect this room to see if there is anything we need to address for future guests. Our hotel is a 111 year-old boutique property and the rooms although charming, are small in size (bathrooms are compact). In regard to the property conditions, we are in the middle of our lobby renovation scheduled for completion by early April. We would love for you to try us out again after the common areas are upgraded. True, King George is in the general area but we are much closer, as in just steps from the famous Powell Cable Car Line. Two blocks can make a pretty significant difference in a small sized city like San Francisco. Take care and we hope to see you next time.

I go to San Francisco a lot for surgeries, and every hotel I’ve stayed in there was no parking nearby.

Average room, but great location
The hotel is very well located. The room was recently renovated, but still shows signs of the oldness. The room was clean and the mattress was relatively comfortable (too soft for my partner). There was little room to walk around the king bed. A queen bed would have been more suitable for the size of the room. The bathroom is small and cannot fit 2 persons at the same time. Water was leaking from the pipes everytime we used the sink. I would recommend this hotel if you are someone who values location and doesn't expect to spend much time in the room.

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for choosing to stay at the Cartwright Hotel Union Square, where you never pay resort/urban fees. We appreciate your honest feedback. This helps us identify and try to fix any issues that we can for future guests. True our location is great, and our hotel does show some signs of age. The Cartwright is a 111 year-old boutique hotel and although renovated will have the feel of a hotel from a different era. The term boutique speaks directly to the size of our rooms. Our rooms are small approximately 120-150 square feet and bathrooms are very compact. You do make a good point about this particular room and it may be better configured as a queen in order for us to maximize free space. This is something for us to consider. Thanks for the input. We will also inspect the sink and make sure the pipe issues are fixed. Hopefully you'll give us another chance on a future visit to San Francisco. Safe Travels!
