I must have booked this hotel instead of the one I read the review on. I thought it was rated 29 in San Francisco. Shame on me, as I was shocked when I checked in. This was the only hotel on our trip that surprised me so much. The sheets and towels appeared clean, but the hotel and especially the... more

Great Price, just in the center close to Chinatown, Union Square, Civic Center and Finnancial District. Good for young people that doesn't care about the quality of the room, but just want a cheap and goodly located place. The area it's not the nicest in town, close to Civic Center lots of homeless, but they're not dangerous, but it can... more

The Union Square Plaza Hotel is in a good location close to Union Square and shopping centres. However, we were extremely disappointed with everything else about the hotel and would not recommend people to stay at this hotel for the following reasons: - The whole hotel is very old and in desperate need of refurbishment (carpets are worn out, radiators... more

Heard the warnings online from Tripadvisor, didn't heed them very closely. The staff was curt and poorly trained with ZERO hospitality. The first night went fine but I was ravaged the second night with literally 45-50 bites all over my body. Upon check-out the clerk ("Sid") pretty much stared at me in when I showed him the bites on my... more

If you like to enjoy San Francisco night life, or theaters, museums and to feel safe, even to return in the mid of the night to the hotel, I do recommend this place. It is clean, rooms are sympa, the location is excellent. Breakfast simple, but you have plenty nice restaurants arround and all is so easy to reach from... more

I just Stayed at the Union Square Plaza Hotel last week. It's location is terrific, right iun the heart of SF. On the other hand, the bad news is the blonde-bearded guy at the front desk. He was very rude once I came into the hotel. He has such a bad attitude and every single day my friends and I... more

When I first arrived at the Union Square Plaza I was thrilled by how conveniently it is located. This enthusiasm quickly faded when I saw the hallway and, more importantly, my room. The furniture (and I guess the bed sheets) have not been changed since the 40ies and it is pretty hard to have a shower without actually touching anything.... more

We stayed two nights here over the 4th of July weekend -- on the 5th floor. As others have mentioned, the hotel is very bare bones and not the cleanest place ever, but it's an unheard-of rate for a major city. We saw a roach or two, and there's definitely some dirt around the windows, in the corners, etc. We... more
