This was the WORST hotel stay I have ever had! It is comparable to staying in a parking lot- all you hear is horns, CAR ALARMS, even people having sex next door ALL NIGHT. It is as if they are in your room! You will be up through out the entire night - NO SLEEP. And at night there is... more

Very convenient location, front desk staff very helpful, we needed to leave our backpacks for a few hours and they were happy to oblige. Older hotel, but very clean. Bathroom and bed linen was spotless. When our hairdryer stopped working and a globe blew in the lamp it was fixed promptly. True there was not much natural light in the... more

The Mark Twain was what I was expecting. The rooms were small but had nice furnishings. The bath was small but the room and bath were very clean. The only minus I saw was it was a bit too much noise outside the building. We were on the back side which is not as loud as the front of the... more

Hotel was older, but quite charming. Had an "old Hollywood" feel, with the rich, classic lobby decor and attention to detail. The rooms were comfortable and clean, staff were friendly. Our room was on the second floor over the street, so if noise is an issue for you, ask for a different room. The hotel must be by the precinct... more

The Hotel Mark Twain is not a 3 Star Hotel! Reading the description and Star Rating on Hotwire lead me to believe this was going to be one of the nicer boutique hotels in the Union Square area. I thought I was getting another GREAT deal from Hotwire based on the price. I was WRONG! A "No Frills" Boutique hotel... more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two days in September 2009, whilst exploring San Francisco. On the whole it was good, the room itself was on the forth floor, it was a little dark as there was not much natural light in the room. The beds and washroom were fine, and the room itself was perfectly acceptable... more

This hotel is a great place to be based out of. Very centrally located, steps from the MUNI and BART, and cable cars. The rooms are very clean, very basic, ceiling fan, heating, nice bathroom, simple amenities. If you go to this place expecting a very clean motel-like room, with excellent staff = thats what you receive. If you want... more

I stayed here with my Mother for 4 nights in September and got a room with two beds for a very good price through hotwire. Considering the price I was really impressed with how nice the hotel is. The room was clean, the towels were nice, the staff were helpful and friendly. As others have pointed out, the elevator is... more

I will say the staff was helpful, and it was close to Union Square as advertised. However, when walking to Union Square, there were a large group of homeless people, as there was some kind of a free clinic right there. I realize San Francisco has a lot of homeless, but this was more than average. The rooms were very... more
