Chancellor hotel is in a great location, in amongst all the shops of Union Square and not far from the BART Powell St stop. The hotel had loads of character and we had a great time staying there. The rooms look like they had been recently renovated, and were clean and spacious. We loved the free lollies in the room, which were re-filled everyday! We saw the popcorn and coffee in the lobby, but didn't realise they were free til now!! Probably a good thing, because we ate far to much - the food is fantasic in San Francisco. The staff were like the hotel, full of character and some quite quirky, but all very willing to help. We would definitely stay there again.

I stayed at the Chancellor for three nights in August and had a wonderful stay. All the reviews on here are right; the Chancellor is a charming boutique hotel in Union Square. I arrived early and was able to check in right away. The lobby is inviting and part of the charm. There is always coffee and cookies/fruit available in the lobby. The little bar is perfect for drinks and they have a great happy hour as well. The restaurant has excellent food and is very well priced, especially for a hotel. One thing I noticed was the hotel does not gauge prices. Everything is priced right, from the bar to the restaurant to the in room amenities offered.

The room was perfect, just as the website described. I couldn’t have asked for a better room. My room was on the 9th floor with a view of Union Square. The bed is extremely comfortable and they offer a free pillow menu, which was a big plus. The room also had a small work desk and 2 separate chairs with a small round table. There was plenty of space to put your things. I also loved the walk in closet, plenty of room to store the luggage etc. The bathroom was well stocked and had a nice deep soaking tub. The windows opened to allow fresh air and the ceiling fan made sleeping very comfortable.

Wes and his staff do an amazing job. Everyone I came into contact was genuinely friendly and would always say hello. The location can’t be beat and I would recommend the Chancellor to anyone.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights.
Loved every minute of it .
It has everything going for it. Woonderful cosy rooms. Spotless , and well maintained. Perfect location. Food in the restaurant very good because i find food in hotels normally very poor.
The staff could not do enough for you. Wes, thank you for the help, I got my Canon tele-photo .lens.

I travelled from Ireland and will def go back but this time I'll bring my wife and child.
The only negative: I can't get a room for 2 adults and one child. I want to go back so I enquired.

lOOKING FORWARD TO REVISITING THE CHANCELLOR AT SOME TIME AGAIN. THANK FOR MAKING MY TRIP SO PLEASANT.

Ioved the pleasant soothing decor of the room, overlooking Union Square. It had a ceiling fan, was cool and you could open the window. There was lots of room and the bathroom though small was very cleverly arranged. The only negative for me was the smell in the lobby as another reviewer mentioned. I have a nose like a sniffer dog (my husband says) and I tracked it down to the popcorn dispenser. I happen to hate the smell of popcorn, so maybe it was OK for those raised on that smell. I would suggest relocating the dispenser, to remove the smell which is a bit of a surprise to us foreigers, in particular.

The staff were delightful and always pleasant and helpful.
