"Estuvo muy agradable mi estanco, sin duda me volvería a hospedar ahí, solamente una cosa que el baño de la habitación en que me quedé sentí que estaba algo chico, aunque se agradece que estuvieran el lavamanos afuera del baño"

The Marker Union Square San Francisco

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed the spacious room and wanted to commend Charles at the front desk for being friendly and very helpful with requests, including late checkout. The included breakfast should be expanded to allow for more than one meal and could offer less expensive options such as yogurt and granola or pancakes. Alternatively, offering a small fee for an upgrade would also be better than eating the same breakfast for 3 days. We did not use one of the breakfasts. Good location for walking and the gym is great. Please adjust the amenities listing because it says yoga mat and balance ball in the room which was not correct."

"Great location and nice lobby. Unfortunately, the lobby bar is closed on Sundays. Rooms are fairly nice and the lack of air conditioning is rarely an issue. Outlets near the bed are awkward to reach (near the floor) but there is a nice power strip on the desk. Chain pull to control fan was not working, so I had to turn the light/fan off to turn off the fan."
