The Inn at Union Square was recommended to me by a friend who stays there during frequent visits to San Francisco. This small hotel more than lived up to expectations set by my friend and by the positive reviews on Trip Advisor, and is an oasis right in the midst of the Union Square bustle. The entire staff is friendly,... More

We chose this hotel on the basis of the excellent reviews already received, and I'm so glad we did. The location, just a step away from Union Square, is excellent, the rooms are spotlessly clean with nice touches such Aveda products in the bathroom and free tea, coffee, water and cookies just down the hall. Nice continental breakfast included in... More

We stayed at the Inn at Union Square for one night prior to our cruise and four nights on our return. The hotel is everything we could of wished for. Don’t expect a large marbled foyer on entry, it isn't that sort of hotel but don’t let that put you off. On our first arrival we were climbing out of... More

We travel a lot for both business and pleasure and can honestly say this was our best hotel experience ever. I'm surprised this hotel is rated #3.......should be #1.

First, let me say that I am extremely picky about hotels and I don't give many five star reviews, but when you come across a gem like the Inn at Union Square, you have to let everyone know!
