 I would never stay there again, it's just old and not worth the money, the staff was good.

 Overall it was an excellent stay at the hotel. The staffs were friendly and helpful.
 
4. From: Betty, Lakeside, Ca
 Date of Stay: July, 2007
 The hotel is located in the Union Square area of San Francisco with great shopping and restaurants within easy walking distance. Cable car access is in front of the hotel and you can purchase the muni pass at the hotel, which is very convenient. The hotel is being renovated but our room had not been. Staff suggested that we request a renovated room for our next visit. I would stay here again.

 Friendly staff, clean, great location.
 
6. From: Linda, New York, Ny
 Date of Stay: June, 2007
 All the hotel personnel were personable and helpful. The convenience was beyond our expectations. We were even able to get our main pass in the lobby and park our car for 10 minutes at a time in front of the hotel. We could walk to get dim sum for breakfast and were near all 6 forms of public transportation.
 
7. From: Clare, Chico, Ca
 Date of Stay: June, 2007
 Quiet, comfortable hotel with European appeal; close to world-class restaurants, theaters, and transportation. Wonderful people-watching from the comfort of the charming lobby. Staff incredibly efficient, but not obsequious.
 
8. From: Adam, Arlington, Va
 Date of Stay: May, 2007
 Great location, rooms, and amenities. Only downer was a lack of restroom on the same floor as the hotel lobby which required me to lug my suitcase down a narrow stairwell to fish out a change of clothes I needed to put on prior to my departure that evening.
 
9. From: Maria, Seaside, Ca
 Date of Stay: May, 2007
 With what the price that we paid and the amenities that your hotel offered plus the friendly staff, we would like to recommend this to our friend and surely we will stay in the same hotel in the near future.
 
10. From: Michael, Phoenix, Az
 Date of Stay: April, 2007
 The property for the age of the building is good but I do get tired of these hotels with the small rooms, Narrow dark hallways and old windows that do not keep out the noise, "star in" themselves up thus getting a rate beyond their worth. The chancellor was a nice property; the staff was very pleasant; they did a good job with what they have to work with.
 
11. From: Gabriel, San Diego, Ca
 Date of Stay: April, 2007
 Located in the heart of union square right in front of the cable car line. Easy access to everything from shopping, restaurants and public transportation. Hotel rooms were a little small but clean. Staff was friendly and kept the room neat. Overall a good experience.
 
12. From: Kristen, Falls Church, Va
 Date of Stay: April, 2007
 I liked the open window when we walked in our room; I liked the view, loved the location, had breakfasts in union square, rode trolleys around the city, parked in the garage at $22 a night and found it very convenient. The staff was very friendly and helpful; I?d highly recommend this place for singles and couples or families with older children.

 Really convenient location, easy to get many place, and (Free Unlimited) snack bar and coffee.

 Morning front desk staff has major attitude problems. We had to complain several times to get things right. Hotel requires a credit card at check-in. If you don't have one you are screwed. They couldn't even take one (my mom's) over the phone. They claimed this was impossible. What are they living in the 1920's?!!! The front desk claimed that he could not take the credit card without a signature. How do people buy things over the internet?!!!

 This hotel has a great location, and it stops there, beds are uncomfortable, rooms r small, heating system doesn't work
 
16. From: Sherill M., Ramona CA USA
 Date of Stay: September, 2006
 This hotel was right in the heart of downtown by Union Square but had a feel of small town comfort and care. The staff went out of their way to be accommodating! Everything was clean and the restaurant food was fresh and well presented.
 
17. From: Stacy N., Honolulu HI United States
 Date of Stay: September, 2006
 The hotel was right next to Union Square and the cable car line,which was awesome. The bus was super easy to navigate also. The rooms are kinda small, we had a room with 2 twin beds, but it was fine. The hotel staff were very nice and in general I had yet another wonderful SanFran experience.
 
18. From: Lesley C., Riverside CA USA
 Date of Stay: September, 2006
 Great Union Square location- 4 blocks from BART. Safe, friendly, and clean! Rooms are a bit small. If you want more dining options I recommend a different neighborhood, but there are good diners and cafes less than a block away (Chinatown is somewhat close but quite a walk uphill). Only complaint was that the heater only works at a certain temp and it was a bit chilly! Also make sure you call the hotel to ask for desired beds, as we ended up pushing two twins together. A bit touristy but not as bad as Fisherman's Wharf, and worth the central location and easy access.
 
19. From: Beverly Y., OH
 Date of Stay: July, 2006
 We spent 4 days at the Chancellor and found it extremely convenient due to it closeness to the trolley line. Rooms are small but cute. Nice selection of pillows and bathspa services. Staff were friendly and courteous. Free internet access in lobby and delicious cookies to welcome you in the afternoons. Took the advice of another reviewer and had delicious meals next door at Sears Fine Food -a place everyone visiting should eat.
 
20. From: Pamela M., Sydney NS Australia
 Date of Stay: July, 2006
 Loved "The Chancellor". The rooms were clean and more spacious than we expected. Very comfortable bed, free internet access, free coffee and cookies all day and night. Great location, great staff and an excellent price for all this. Would stay ther again and recommend it to anyone.
