Top Union Square Hotel Reviews

King George Hotel

8/10 Good

"You are paying for location. the rooms do not look like the way are on photos. the Bar was closed. But you paid for a safe place in the busy SF Downtown so it is what it is."

Tilden Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall pretty good experience here. The room was clean and overall pretty nice. Ammenity-wise the hotel didn't have ton to offer (or the staff didn't mention it, anyway), but the attached restaurant was good. The elevator was maybe the smallest passenger elevator I've ever been on- 3 of us without any bags or suitcases couldn't stand in it without rubbing elbows. They could also benefit from security that some of the other hotels have- there was no one manning the door and no swipe access needed to get upstairs via stairs or elevators."
