This was a good stay. The front desk and bellhop seemed a bit disorganized, but they ultimately got the job done. The price and location was unbeatable and our room was clean.

10/10 Exceptional

We weren't expecting to enjoy our stay at the Chancellor as much as we did. It is an older property with a lot of charm and character, but was also spotlessly clean, with really helpful staff. And you could not get a better location! Parking was convenient - within a block in a secure garage - and relatively cheap. We will be back.

I just stayed one night here, but will definitely be coming back. Although it's an older building, I thought it was quaint. It was clean and really comfortable. It is also in a great location in Union Square. For the price, I highly recommend it.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

My room was impeccably clean. The mattress, pillows, sheets and cover were of special upgraded quality. The staff was friendly. The only concern would be that the bar and restaurant have never reopened after covid. They make up for it with super coffees, teas, apples and delicious cookies. There is a nice restaurant next door. The price to stay is so reasonable.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The location is great, very central. We loved the free drinks (coffee, tea, water) and cookies and apples. If you are sensitive to noise, ask for a room on the upper levels and facing the back of the hotel.

This is my 2nd consecutive weekend stay! For the nightly rate, thie value is exceptional. Very clean, friendly and courteous staff, cozy bar with television showing SF sites or local sports, and most importantly a plush bed with plenty of pillows. Bonus points for the yellow rubber ducky to accompany your deep bath with provided bath salts

A really cool old hotel in a great spot. Nice staff, very clean rooms and property. We didn’t get to use much of the amenities, as we spent most of our time out and about but we will definitely check this place on our next visit.
