Daughter visit

"Visit to my daughter who lives in SF. Very friendly helpful staff! Great location! Only issue was paying more for a partial view of the bay and in reality looked out to a bare white wall unless standing at far corner of the window. Staff was very accommodating to find me another room with an improved city view which was also only ok"

5/5 Excellent

"I would definitely stay here again. Our room was small but quaint. It got a little on the warm side at night but we were able to crack a window open. Bedding was nice. Very functional and staff helpful. What I found convenient CVS, diner, restaurant next door, Mc Donald’s and cable car very close by. Hotel had fruit, cookies, water and filtered water for guest. The Chancellor Hotel was good to us. Thank you all. Made our first visit to SF awesome. "
