    Great hotel for short trips

    Nothing bad to say about this place, is great location, but be aware if you want quiet places don’t stay at the front of the hotel, is heavily noisy from street were the cable cars pass by, back side is more quiet. Staff is friendly and professional. Overall good experience

    Great place to stay in SF

    Clean, friendly staff, great location. Pillow menu is not something I expected, it was nice to see. The bathtub was huge really great for a nice soak after a long day of walking.

    The worst beds

    The hotel staff were nice, BUT the hotel itself was a problem for me. The beds are very, very soft - the kind you completely sink into, and the kind that are really bad for backs. I slept on the floor all the nights I was there, as good sleeping posture was impossible in those beds. I asked if I could change rooms, but was told all beds were the same. Those beds need changed, or boards need to be added between the box spring and mattress.

    Good location

    Nice hotel in a good location. Room clean and comfortable bed. Free snacks and hot drinks readily available in the reception area. No restaurant but good breakfast in the cafe diner next door. Limited opening hours / days of bar. Needs some TLC as decor is a bit tired.

    Great Value, Great Location, Great Experience

    I'm so glad I chose to stay at Chancellor; it truly exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The location is unbeatable: convenient, safe, and close to everything I needed. The room was cozy, comfortable, and equipped with everything necessary for a pleasant stay. I was also pleasantly surprised by how quiet the hotel was. Even though it's located on a very busy street, the windows blocked out most of the noise, allowing me to sleep through the entire night without any issues. I never heard noise from other guests on the same floor, either, which made the stay even more relaxing. The hotel had a warm and inviting atmosphere. I often saw people enjoying the bar area, which added to the feeling of security and comfort. Unfortunately, I had plans every day and didn't get a chance to check it out myself, but it looked like a great spot to unwind. Another highlight was the value for money. The price was very reasonable, and the quality of the accommodations and service made it feel like an excellent deal. Housekeeping cleaned our room every day, and the hotel was consistently spotless throughout our stay. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
