San Francisco hotels near Yerba Buena Center for the Arts

Pros: I love the location and being right at Union Square. Lots of food, drink and shopping literally on your door step. The hotel staff, particularly the door staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.

Cons: Rooms are quite small, and the hotel is a little old. Air-conditioner could definitely use some improvement.

Pros: The staff was phenomenal. The room very clean and comfortable. Doormen were very helpful and knowledgeable.

Cons: My husband ordered corned beef hash for breakfast via room service....the hash was sitting in oil and the corned beef was very hard to chew. Not our experience previously.

Pros: 5-star hotel all the way. Soundproof windows, excellent service, central location, and a bespoke feel.

Pros: My room at this venerable hotel, located in the heart of Union Square, was large and comfortable, and the bathroom was especially spacious and luxurious, with a large shower and separate spa tub. (The room itself felt much more cramped than the bathroom.) There was a good coffee machine and free bottles of water, and ample room for clothes in a dresser and closet in the hallway between the bathroom and room, plus a chair and desk. I requested a quiet room and got one that was very quiet. All great! The location, in the heart of Union Square, would not be my top choice, but on my particular dates, it was very hard to find available rooms and the prices for everything were very high.

Cons: The hotel itself, and the rooms, are all clean and in good repair, but do feel due for a refresh. The location is good if you want to be near public transportation (BART, Market Street trams, many buses) or major attractions, including SFMoMA, but it's a bit boring. If you are looking for a good fitness center, this is not the right hotel for you. The fitness center was quite small, with only two treadmills, one of which (the one on the right) had a problem with the touch screen that made it very difficult to adjust walking/running speed. But most of all, the room is open to the elements, enclosed only by a tarp that a) makes it impossible to see the view beyond it (the clear plastic is clouded over with dirt) b) on the days I was there, when it was in the high 70s outside in the morning, made the room into a greenhouse that was very hot and humid. I'd say it was about 85 degrees F in there -- not ideal for working out, and should be avoidable if one is indoors in an otherwise climate-controlled building. This is not a huge deal if you don't care about exercising on your vacation, but if you do, I'd go elsewhere, even if it's less charming than the Taj Campton.

Pros: They have a nice service,until10 in the morning there is a free coffee and muffin service-Good coffee good muffins! What surprised us :They have a TWO STAR Michelin restaurant with two menus-of course expensive but not unreasonable-however nothing a la carte.But NEXT to it there is the BISTRO-should be the same kitchen-very limited menu but VERY AVERAGE food. This I cannot understand ,would the TWO star unit also be Average????

Cons: food at the bistro!!

Cons: Rooms were quite small for the rate paid

Pros: The cleanliness and staff were above average

Cons: I thought the concierge could of been a little more knowledgeable

Pros: The staff is amazing !

Cons: The beds could be more comfy

Cons: No bells and whistles. This was much more like your standard, mid-grade Marriott than a 4-star experience. No fluffy robes, slippers, turn-down service, etc.

Pros: Staff was exceptionally kind- I contracted the flu and they were more than solicitous.

Cons: The Nespresso machine can't really provide hot water for tea- it leaked all over.

Pros: I love luxury... and that's about the extent of it. This hotel, is luxury. My pet was warmly received and a beautiful courtyard..on site for quick, private outtings.. not easily found I the middle of town. Shower and a tub in our room which I appreciate. Again..love marble..love knowledgeable people.. love the grandeur of the Fairmont.

Cons: Nothing at all.

Pros: Location

Pros: Wonderful staff. Very comfortable.

Cons: The reservation system was down when we arrived but the staff were wonderful. No pool!

Pros: Our room was fantastic, especially the marble bathroom with full tub. We also loved the view of the San Francisco bay. On top of that, the breakfast buffet was a perfect way to spend time with our family in the mornings of our stay.

Cons: The hotel is expensive, but that's to be expected somewhat given its location in San Francisco and its overall amenities.

Pros: Room was great, good size with comfy bed. Bathroom shower space excellent.

Cons: From the map, thought it was walkable to Chinatown. Not much walkable in this town however.

Pros: Location was great. Security is good. room spacious.

Cons: the lady at Housing-Group, was unprofessional and very negative, she just doesn't would like to connect this night (booked through booking.com) with the other back to back nights i made through my educational institution. I finally managed to get it connected through different person. Quentin front desk representative, provided me with the farthest room 8000, you walk and walk until you reach it, as much as i will describe how far it is, you wont actual feel it unless u physically walk to it. He just charged my credit card with an extra amount without even explaining. i had to get it clarified next day that it was a security deposit in case you smoke or do anything not as per the policy. No complimentary water in the room when i arrived, i requested some, it took 45 min and 3 follow-up calls to get the water delivered, and the last call a person called Gary (if i recall properly) was acting sarcastic. how unprofessional Marriott hotel became. I start buying my water from next door as it is faster. The whole experience, wasn't to my expectation, maybe others did have a much better one, however i am just expressing what i really faced.

Pros: Great accommodation, well located, excellent and welcoming staff. Room very comfortable for an extended stay of 5 days.

Cons: The numbers of people we have encountered on the main streets in Berkley and downtown SF who are are obviously struggling to get by.

Pros: Excellent location ( central ) in order to plan daily visits from , in order to see S.F. lovely roof top bar to see the city from at night . The room was excellent and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons: Parking on site was $70, the pillows were lumpy and the view room did not open until 4.

Pros: Little market inside hotel was great. All staff very helpful; was given a room upgrade that was greatly appreciated.
