Stanford Court San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"😎"

Grand Hyatt San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, staff friendly. Good location from a walking and driving perspective (parking close by) - lots of retail around Union Square, restaurants and bars within 10-12 min walk. Solid option for a reasonable price given the locale and average nightly rates in the area at other chain hotels."
