3.7 out of 5 Good (90 reviews)

(Neighborhood average 3.8)
Hotels.com Guest Rating

I was very pleased. Great location, good value. The staff was friendly. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. The bathroom was small. Wi-fi... available but I never use public wi-fi so they had two landline computers available also. The only drawback was our room faced the back alley which was very noisy, with employees from the restaurant next door on break late at night, car alarms, etc. by a Hotels.com guest on 10/16/11

The Touchstone Hotel Union Square - Convention Center

A short guide to Union Square - Convention Center

Flagship stores ring Union Square, among the vanguard of West Coast retail. Chinatown begins at Grant Avenue and Bush Street, while Gold Rush-era mansions crown Nob Hill. South of Union Square, the convention center area includes the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Cable cars turn around at Powell and Market streets to head back to Fisherman's Wharf.

This may have been a nice hotel at one time but it desperately needs removation. The carpets are stained and worn, the paint is scraped and dirty, the windows in our room were filthy and cracked, there's no air conditioning or fans, no coffe in rooms or lobby. We had limited interaction with the staff but they were professional and pleasant. The wireless […] internet worked well. There are many restaurants nearby. Read more
