Staying at The Cartwright Hotel in Union Square was an absolutely delightful experience. The location couldn’t be better—just steps away from shopping, dining, and all the vibrant energy of downtown San Francisco. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in a breeze.

The bed was super comfortable, and the room was quiet and clean—perfect for a good night’s sleep. With excellent service, a prime location, and great value, this hotel truly stands out. I’d definitely book here again on my next visit to San Francisco.
Located just steps away from Trader Joe’s and St. Francis Hospital, this hotel is incredibly convenient—my surgery was only a 5-minute walk away, which made everything so much easier. The room was cozy, clean, and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. I appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the thoughtful touches throughout the space. It’s a great choice if you’re in town for medical appointments or just want a reliable, no-fuss stay in San Francisco. Highly recommend for its location, comfort, and value.
Staying at the Best Western Red Coach Inn was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—right near the south entrance of the park, making it super convenient to explore downtown San Francisco and nearby attractions. The rooms were spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable, with a peaceful atmosphere that made for a restful night's sleep.

With excellent value and top-notch service, this place truly stands out. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
The Lombard Inn is a solid choice if you're looking for a no-frills stay in San Francisco. The rooms are clean and the beds are surprisingly comfortable—perfect for a good night's rest. While the decor and furnishings feel a bit dated, they’re still functional and adequately maintained. One thing worth mentioning is that the hallways had a slight musty odor, likely due to the carpets needing a deep clean. That said, it’s an easy fix and doesn’t detract much from the overall experience. I’d recommend this hotel for travelers who prioritize comfort and convenience over modern design. It’s a reliable option with great value, especially if you're on a budget.
We stayed in Glasgow for a few days and stopped by this hotel for breakfast—had no expectations going in, but was pleasantly surprised. The menu options were somewhat limited, but the warm welcome and excellent service from Thomas made all the difference. He went above and beyond to make our morning special. It’s a hidden gem with a welcoming vibe, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone passing through.
On Friday, April 21st at 10:15 AM, a guest from another building at the hotel climbed over the fence between units 179 and 173, entered our private driveway area, then climbed over our fence and left toward Wiese Street, heading toward 16th Street. We immediately called 911. The situation was alarming and unsettling. While police responded promptly, the incident raised serious concerns about property security and safety protocols. It's important to note that making assumptions based on someone's background is not only inappropriate but also harmful. As guests, we expect the hotel to maintain a secure environment for all. We hope management will take immediate action to improve fencing, surveillance, and overall safety measures to prevent future incidents.
