San Francisco hotels in South of Market

Pros: Very friendly staff, great service. The access to Equinox is fabulous! Prime, prime location--the best!!

Cons: In-room dining is awful. I had breakfast twice, and was severely disappointed at the outrageous price for the poor, poor quality of every aspect of the food--coffee is burnt and thick like mud, toast burnt, side vegetables unbelievably expensive with NO quality. The fresh orange juice is good. And that's it. Otherwise, the hotel is just wonderful.

Pros: Nice rooms. Polite staff. Nice bathrooms. Everything worked without an issue.

Cons: At Reservation, called the 800 number. I was told they only had two suites available. No rooms. Two minutes later, I went on Kayak and booked two rooms with no issue. Service was in no way exceptional. It was a little irritating that bell desk couldn't get cab. Food/bar is terrible Surcharge for internet access is ludicrous

Pros: Amazing service and experience! We we're there for our honeymoon and loved every moment. The staff went out of there way to help us.

Pros: We've stayed at the NYC Marquis Times Square so we figured we would get the same experience at the San Fran location But not the case at all... the gentleman that assisted us with check in wasn't pleasant. We weren't to happy about the double bed room or the tub that stopped up. Moving forward we know every Marquis isn't the same except for the parking rate, it's $75 no matter what location.

Cons: Stoppped up tub, no access to a microwave

Pros: Great location. Just 5 minutes on foot to union square. Nice bar on 39 th floor with great drinks and food.

Cons: $90/day parking?? That’s robbery. Park at amc garage across the street for $34/day. We had junior suite. Rooms are not separated and sofa can’t fold into bed!!?? We had to get two roll up beds for kids. Food in M Lounge was good and plenty with nice personal.

Cons: Staff was not accommodating for what was promised. Staff was also rude.

Pros: Hotel was clean

Cons: We booked a room for two night with a king size bed upon arrival we were not told they didn't have a room for us instead sent us to a room with double beds wouldn't accommodate us claiming they had "no more rooms available "... next day had issues relocating our luggage to next room. Parking was absurd $70 dollars a night ?? Overrated

Pros: The lady at the check in upgraded our room at no cost, as we were celebrating our anniversary. We had a wonderful executive suite. Gym facilities were exceptional. The location was excellent to access all areas of the city easily!

Cons: No free wifi and same type of breakfast everyday

Pros: Location is excellent.

Cons: Big hotel where you get lost. Looks and feel old, needs a major renovation.

Pros: The room was clean, the bed was amazing, location was walking distance to all things downtown, I felt safe with my young son, easy express checkout.

Cons: No room service, for the money we spent I would've liked to see a free breakfast, the cost of parking is insane (it is SF though), no pool.

Pros: Comfy bed, soft sheets, nice view of city, terrific AC and excellent lounge.

Cons: nothing

Pros: The location

Cons: A 4 star Marriott hotel without room service? In San Francisco? Get your act together. What a dated American hospitality company. Will not stay there again and would not recommend this hotel to anyone

Pros: Location

Cons: No swimming pool

Pros: The value for the money is really good! It was clean, spacious, well decorated. We ensured to get two beds in the bedroom and we got them!

Pros: - Great staff, very friendly & helpful!! - Perfect setting for a weekend getaway in SF. - Our Room: We had the Jr Suite. It was a good size, very trendy. It was great for our bachelorette party. The room came with a JamBox, which was very much appreciated since I forgot to pack mine! - Location was good for our use. The hotel is 1 block from the BART so it's easy to get around from there.

Cons: - Couch bed wasn't terribly comfortable, but when has there ever been a comfortable couch bed... I was fine trading that for the larger room. I was told that the king bed was great!

Pros: Very nice gym w/ 2 treadmills, 2 elliptical machines with lcd screens, and one cycle. Good selection of free weight dumbbells. Great machine weight with a variety of exercises. Towels, fruit and even sparkling water. A good touch was the disposable headphones. Also has a nice game room; ping pong, big wooden jenga blocks, shuffle board, pool table. Location is great, very trendy art and generally polite staff.

Cons: I asked for a quite room on the inside. I was assigned a very loud room which did not have dual pane windows and was woken at about 5am to what sounded like loud trash trucks. My sheets were not changed from a previous guests' stay. I found long strands of hairs under the covers as well as short pubic hair through out the bed sheets. Since it was already 4 am, I was too tired to deal with it, so I slept on top of the covers with a thin blanket from the closet. I was pretty disgusted. I was in a rush the next morning to get to Moscone Center, but did inform the front desk. They sent housekeeping to change the sheets and left me a note w/ water and a chocolate bar. I also realized that I was missing a bathroom vanity rug on my first night. The hotel room is very small with hardwood floors through out and an old rug around the bed. On the last day of my 2 night stay I had a pretty bad incident in the bathroom with a shattered glass pendant light shade. The bathroom ceiling drops down and I could touch the ceiling by simply raising my arms (I'm 6ft tall). The designer decide to hang a ceiling pendant light despite the low ceiling with a glass shade. While drying myself after a shower, when I raised my arms, my hands hit the glass shade leaving me showered with shattered glass! This is quite dangerous and I'm lucky I didn't get cut badly, only a nick on my right knuckle. I don't think management handled the situation very well. I generally just found issues with the cleanliness of the hotel; dust around the night stands and the closest, unchanged sheets, noisy rooms. I would not recommend this hotel unless they get their act together.

Pros: Staff was very accommodating Decor was cool. Great location

Cons: I'd rather see a coffe maker in the room than the espresso machine

Pros: Large room, nice bathroom, overly public space (including a "playroom" which wasn't for kids but they were free to use), and a great bar that was buzzing but always had seats! Staff were very friendly and engaging. Didn't use onsite restaurant - breakfast looked a little limited for kids but various diners and cafes nearby. Great spot near muni and cable cars and Westfield shopping centre. Good for union square without being union square

Cons: Restaurant menu looked fab for adults but not for kids for breakfast. Otherwise nothing negative

Pros: Location - pretty central to everything, and if not we could always take an uber. Modern interior Game room was fun and utilized Staff was very friendly and helpful

Cons: N/A

Pros: Website

Cons: Reservation 11 months ago and fully paid for room. They cancelled two days before saying they were overbooked But still had rooms for sale at much higher price Don't trust this hotel. Second time they cancelled but won't happen again

Pros: The staff were very accommodating .

Cons: They only had 2 treadmills

Pros: Front desk personnel and bell service were exceptionally helpful. Rooms were nicely appointed - largest TV I've ever had in a hotel room. Central location right at Powell St. BART Station allowed me to get there quickly from Oakland Airport.

Pros: Close to everything in Union Square, clean and nice-looking inside.

Cons: ...but that translates to a little over $300 a night, which isn't really worth it. Avoid it during the conventions in town.

Pros: Good arrival and wait staff were both friendly and efficient. The door man was great and the team inside were extremely helpful. I have stayed in other SF hotels in the past and Hotel Zelos is a nice addition to the city. City hotel rooms can sometimes be small but the rooms at Zelos are very spacious! I also would like to say thank you for an overall smooth and fun experience! From booking on line with Kayak to speaking directly with the hotel, to checking in & out, everyone was super friendly and consistently would go out of their way to be helpful.

Cons: Mixed message on parking After speaking with associates on two separate occasions. Then the confusion in the garage, mind you I thought I lost my ticket to return however I unpacked it when I arrived back home this evening. There was a problem between the hand written sign in log from the valet and the printed report from the front desk and the hotel's portion of valet claim check system also did not work. I retrieved my vehicle because I brought the only two matching keys and I have matching handmade key chains attached. Breakfast table with two nice chairs rather than a rolling office chair. That was weird. But it was also SF PRIDE weekend so who cares!

Pros: Had a great time friendly staff great restaurant

Cons: That nobody answered the phone at the restaurant for me to make a reservation fri night

Pros: The location was great and my room was quiet.

Cons: There was a bit of mildew odor in the bathroom. If not for that I would have given an excellent rating, instead of good, for my stay.

Cons: Windows face directly into office building just 10ft away. People in the office can see directly into your room

Pros: The location of the hotel was excellent. There were many nice dining, shopping and entertainment options very close by. It is also very close to a BART station so getting there from the airport is very easy. San Francisco is a surprisingly easy city to drive in as well, though parking is very expensive.

Cons: Though the bed was very comfortable, it was a bit squeaky. Also, being on Market street means that there is a bit of noise but it's not excessive.

Pros: The staff was very friendly. The driver to the airport (George in the Towncar) was very courteous.

Cons: Need a coffee maker in room. Not a deal breaker though of course.

Pros: The Palomar is in a great location, the staff is very friendly, and the rooms are nicely decorated. Beds are OK. Restaurant (Bad Habit?) onsite had a nice quality breakfast which was pretty reasonable.

Pros: Room was great. But we were placed next to the ice machine....the wall there sounded paper thin throughout the night as guest needed ice.

Cons: Being stuck next to an ice machine at 2 am

Pros: The Palomar was clean, quiet and comfortable and in a great location.

Cons: The woman working in the evening checking in guests needs more training. Either that or maybe she was having a bad night.

Pros: The service at the San Francisco Palomar was excellent. The front desk staff and doormen deserve top marks. They were helpful in every circumstance from procuring a taxi to giving directions or making suggestions regarding nearby attractions and walking distances. The hotel was clean, the restaurant was superb....fantastic breakfast! And the wait staff was superior. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and look forward to that happening in the near future. Hats off to the Palomar staff!!!!!!!
