3-Star Hotels in San Francisco

We chose this hotel because of the location for getting to the trolley, a Hop-on Hop-off tour stop, the local bus system, and the nearby BART system. For this it did not disappoint. The price is reasonable, and the hotel was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. From this, I digress. The noise level during the nights, was that a very loud level. All from external. Sirens, music, loud cars and trucks going by, garbage trucks in the middle of the night, quite a bit of yelling, and the like. Normal ear plugs did not help. If you stay here, you will need some heavy duty ear plugs. We get up earlier and the hotel lobby coffee was not ready ever before 7:00 a.m. there is coffee in the room, however if you need real creamer, you'll be out of luck until 7:00 approximately. Not a terrible review, just want people to be aware.

The room booked was spacious and the room rate also include breakfast. The hotel lobby also provide coffee and tea. The hotel is within walking distance to the cable car stop to travel to Union Square and Chinatown and also Fisherman Wharf.

I totally enjoyed my stay during a 4-days at this place. The location is super convenient, take 101/130/150 to go to Union square, walk a little bit and take 19 to go to Beach Road. If you are adventurous, you can actually walk to the Downtown. I had to check in early as my flight landed a bit advance. They allowed me to early check in at a nominal fee which is totally acceptable. Also the cityscape view from hotel is amazing! I felt the place is safer, all amenities provided (ironing bed, hangers, refrigerator, iron box, coffee and tea bags… so on). I would certainly stay here again and highly recommend checking this out.

Yotel SF was perfect for my stay in SF. I stayed in a duplex room so the lower level was were the bathroom was and the bed was on the loft. It was impeccably clean and the bed was super comfortable. The complimentary coffee was a nice touch and there were even phone rooms available to use for work calls. The area surrounding the hotel is active at night as a meeting area for people without homes, but I just minded my own business and it was ok the one night I walked over from the train. If you're more concerned I recommend just taking a cab. The hotel itself is a good place to stay and I would book again!

The location is superior. It is close to several scenic spots in the city center. Hotel facilities are similar to domestic high-end chain express hotels. The rooms are small but the facilities are relatively new. The hotel is clean and the parking is expensive. Public parking nearby is cheaper.

Just what we needed in the city on the outside lands weekend. We were hospitably welcomed every time we stepped in the beautiful lobby. We were there for 4 nights and let me tell you we will be staying there again. Great showers, breakfast, decor and staff. Thank you all so much for being so welcoming to some out of Towners!

We stayed 2 nights at the Cartwright. While the management and customer service was awesome, the room was not. Especially for the price. There was barely any room except for the bed. The pictures of a king room are NOT what you get. I kept hitting my leg on the back corner of the bed frame, as the room to get in to the bed from that side was so small. Additionally, management had to be asked for ice. No vending machines. Coffee only in the morning. Also, there were numerous homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk across from the hotel. Parking is a block away, directions handed out are incorrect. While I appreciate the history of the hotel, I do not recommend a king room at this hotel unless it's for one person. I would not stay here again. There are multiple other hotels in Union Square.

I love the location, it is so close to Union Square, with restaurants and Bank of America only walking distances away. Macy's and other stores are also very close and Chinatown only 15 minutes walking if you want to look for Chinese food. I also feel safe while staying here because the neighborhood is secure (of course you also need to stay alert & careful).

We stayed for a week in September. Lovely hotel with friendly attentive staff. Check in was smooth. We had our luggage taken to our room as our room was up some steps and past the swimming pool before reaching the elevator to our room. While waiting for our luggage I looked around the room and noticed that there was no kettle - only the base of a coffee machine - and no hairdryer. When I told the gentleman who bought our luggage about the missing items they were both replaced within 10 minutes. Our room was spacious and I loved the dressing/vanity area outside the bathroom. We were fortunate enough to have a balcony overlooking O'Farrell Street, loved sitting having my morning tea or evening G&T people watching! There is no restaurant but that didn't bother us. You get a discount voucher for breakfast at a diner around the corner but it gets extremely busy. We ate there once at 7am when it was quite. Some mornings we got cereal from Walgreens around the corner and ate in Union Square. We got the Bart from the airport to Powell St station . The Handlery is a short walk from this station. Also, the old trolley bus terminus is near the Powell St station too which takes you to Pier 39 area. Market Street is also close by for buses and tram/trolley buses (the newer ones) and walk down to the end of Market Street to reach Embarcadero and the Ferry Building. Loved our stay in this hotel.

This hotel is the most convenient location in San Francisco. It is located at the intersection of Market Street and 4th Street. The Marriott Hotel is right in front of you. There is a Ross store diagonally. I stayed for 5 nights. There are no slippers or toothbrushes in the room, so you need to bring them with you. I got one box of tissue at the front desk. There is no refrigerator. The microwave is on the ground floor. My daughter's room has only a shower, but my room also has a bathtub. The receptionists were all very kind. One of them spoke Japanese and was really kind. There are restaurants and supermarkets near here, so it's very convenient. There are many trains, so it is a good place for sightseeing.
