Hilton San Francisco Union Square

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel. Lots of nice amenities. Only dislike I have is that the area is kind of sketchy due to some homeless around, but they did not bother anyone. You can park at the parking lot across the street for significantly cheaper than at the property. Hot tub, pool, fitness area, and restaurants were very nice and the rooms were beautiful. Close to a lot of local shops and bus stops."
