The Marker Union Square San Francisco
The Marker is a lovely hotel designed like an old European one with a huge fireplace in the lobby. The Tratto restaurant on site was excellent. Our room was quiet and comfortable and the staff very nice. There’s no room service, if you need that. But We recommend this hotel in SF
