Location, Location, Location
We recently enjoyed a four night stay at The Chancellor Hotel at the end of a 14 day road trip around California. The hotel is an older property with some period features particularly apparent in the lobby area, and certain parts of the hotel show signs of dating. But I am not saying that this was a cause for complaint as we received very helpful and friendly service from all members of staff, our rooms were very comfortable and clean and we were fortunate enough to have excellent views across Union Square. The location of the hotel is its strength as we found it was perfect for getting around San Francisco and having taken a tour bus around SF we were pleased that this was definitely in one of the safer areas. Most of the attractions are within walking distance and if you purchase the passes for the cable cars / trams / buses you can hop on and off wherever you like. My only suggestion to the hotel is that you should think about increasing the size and updating the image of the hotel bar. It seemed a popular meeting place but far too small to accommodate the clientele. We enjoyed our trip to San Francisco and our stay at the Chancellor but I didn't "leave my heart there" .... I am sure the city is trying to help the homeless and down and outs, but they appear to have a long way to go.
