Neighbor's plumbing feels like it's right in your room. The ice machine hummed LOUDLY all evening. They also did not honor the 'upper floor' booking that was made and paid for. No valet outside and parking is extremely difficult in SF/Union Square. This is more like a cheap motel. They should have the Marriott name taken away from them - BTW I am a Marriott's reward member so I have stayed in many.

Great Location, rooms need updating!!

WE LOVED the location of the Hotel. We walked to everything. We even walked to the Warf one day, but you can take a cab for $8.00. Union Square is 2 blocks away literally. The bar and lobby are clean and newer looking, but the rooms are small and really old looking. We wanted a room with a view and did not get one. The lady at the front desk was ...

Perfect Location for Sightseeing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/03/08
This hotel is the perfect location for sightseeing! You are across the street from the cable car station, two blocks from the 38 bus route, two blocks from Union Square. The BART station is six blocks away which means that you can get to/from the airport for under $6.00 one way. If six blocks is too far to walk with your luggage, then a cab will ...

Highly Recommend Hotel 480!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/09/08
We just got back from a weekend in San Francisco (Union Square). I can't say enough about it. The rooms were clean and the staff always went out of there way to make us feel as if we were their only guests. The view from our room overlooking Union Square and the entire City was unbelievable. We sat at the bar late one night and received ...
There were so many choices of hotels we worried on the right one. We got lucky with this one. The rates were reasonable. The parking fees were high, but for us leaving the car at the door and having someone park it was worth the extra. There is a garage very nearby though if you like. The location is perfect, overlooking Union square with lots ...

Loved Crown Plaza1
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/16/06
Great location, room with view of bay was awesome! Concierge was so helpful, everyone was very polite and service was great! You can get all over San Fran from here easily. Ask the concierge when you are going around the city and she will give you great tips. Big Bonus, go to Sears Famous Foods across the street for breakfast! Best breakfast in the city, world famous pancakes are amazing!
Although the hotel was ideally located and the service was pretty good, the hotel had nothing else to offer. The room was clean but the beds were not comfortable and the AC unit did not work. It was cold all the time. There was no privacy as walls were thin and thus you could hear the people in the next room. Meals were exhorbitant, and if you ...

Nice Place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/26/05
Great location. Health club had the best equipment of any hotel that I stayed in! Rooms are small, but I had an excellent view looking North from the 24th floor (the higher the better). The high speed internet in all rooms is only if you pay for it at $10 per day or $35.99 per week (the speed was good). Food prices in the hotel were very expensive, however, plenty of places to eat nearby.
The Crowne Plaza San Francisco was a charming hotel in the heart of downtown. Great hospitality and reasonably priced. We had an awesome view of the city from our room. Courteous staff and a great location make this hotel a favorite!
