Clean room, bed comfortable, staff super friendly and helpful. Room is a bit warm but they have an electric fan. So when I cracked the window open and turned on the fan, the room cooled and was comfortable. Overall I had a good stay. Slept like a rock.

Historic hotel in a historic building. No breakfast, pool, gym, or in-room climate control. There is a ceiling fan and a desktop fan in the room though. Thin walls will have you thinking someone is in your room - can hear entire conversations and probably hear a pin drop from the other room. Good for quick trips if you plan on exploring the city but if you’re not an explorer and want to lounge around the hotel, go elsewhere.

Lovely hotel with lots of its original character, plus modern amenities. I love the extra touches like the nice espresso machine always available, the fancy water bottle filling machine. Plus flavored water, cookies, popcorn, and fruit in the lobby all the time! Room felt clean and safe, though as a woman traveling alone, I wish there were a chain on the door alongside the deadbolt. The mini fridge was bigger and colder than ones I’ve had in similarly priced hotels. My room had a huge walk-in closet! Walgreens down the block, fun shopping around the corner, great food at a classic restaurant next door, nice staff—next time I’m in San Francisco I’ll definitely be back!

The hotel is exceptionally charming - small and old but very clean with lots of great benefits. Small bar in lobby with an AMAZING bartender. She was very personable with everyone in there and gave us great advice and recommendations on where to eat and what to see. Very comfortable stay and felt completely safe.

I feel like this is what are the real hotel service. Old building, looks outdated style but it has everything I needed. I have stayed at 5different hotels for this trips including Marriott and Venetian resort and so on. But regarding the price, I think Chancellor is one of the best hotel experiences.

The hotel is clean, the rooms are cozy, and the hotel staff is very friendly. They have coffee all day, and water and cookies in the evening. They have a bar where the bartender makes some really good margaritas. Honestly, it was a lovely stay, and I hope to return. Thank you!
