Chancellor Hotel. Is it really that good?

I%26#39;ve been to SF before and stayed in Fisherman%26#39;s Wharf. However, for our February 2008 trip, we would like to stay in Union Square this time and were considering the Chancellor Hotel, as it appears to be highly recommended for its location and fair price.

So what%26#39;s the deal? Is the Chancellor Hotel to good to be true or is it as advertised?

Chancellor Hotel. Is it really that good?

I am glad you asked that question, because someone else just made that comment in one of our reviews. Here is a portion of my response to that comment:

Please do not be confused by the high rating of the hotel (currently #5). That simply means that our guests do their research and select the right hotel for themselves. We are a great little hotel in a great location. However, being a historic hotel, among other special characteristics, we are not right for everyone. Our rating just means that the people that have stayed with us have been happy with THEIR choice. It does not mean the Chancellor is better, nicer or whatever compared to the other hotels. Credit our guests for making the right choice.

There are many good hotels in this city. It just depends on what your tastes are and what you want to pay for it. Many people like the Chancellor because it falls in their price range and provides value and service for the money. As you can see from the posts, a little personal attention from the general manager doesn%26#39;t hurt, either.

It has an excellent location on the cable car line and kitty-corner from Union Square -- and so do several hotels along Powell Street. The Sir Francis Drake Hotel is right across the street. The St. Francis is right on Union Square, just a half block south. On the next street over, on Stockton, is the Grand Hyatt and Campton Place, also well located, though not on the cable car line.

There are several budget hotels two blocks south on Powell Street that cost less than the Chancellor, the Sir Francis Drake and the St. Francis, Campton Place, and the Grand Hyatt.

It just depends on what you want and what you want to pay.

From my experience and reveiws from others, one thing that stands out about the Chancellor is its friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff.

we stayed there in september and had a really good time.

Rooms are clean. Beds comfortable and good bathroom. It%26#39;s location is exceptional... so it%26#39;s a really a good deal. If we come again to SF we%26#39;ll stay there.

As much as I like and reguarly recommend the Chancellor, this is what I think you need to keep in mind:

If you%26#39;re looking for a hotel with a great location at a low price, that is clean, comfortable and probably the best hotel for people on a budget, this is your place.

If you%26#39;re looking for luxury, you%26#39;re going to be disappointed. It isn%26#39;t a four or five star hotel, but it also doesn%26#39;t claim to be. If you%26#39;ll notice on TA%26#39;s page for the hotel, it doesn%26#39;t bill itself as a 5 star hotel. The ratings are high from people who knew what to expect and the 5 dot ratings they give just mean that they had an excellent experience.

All in all, if you%26#39;ve done your research, you already know this and in that case, I think you%26#39;ll be very happy there.
