San Francisco Marriott Union Square

It's a nice clean, secure hotel, located in San Fran. Short walk to the piers, ferry building, China Town, Union square Park and more. The restaurant serves quality food. The staff is always accommodating and the rooms are nice, the beds sleep well. The downside is the daily destination fee of $30. Seems to be obscene Marriott thing they tack on whether in town for business or pleasure. It can be used as a credit to the breakfast or bar area but is still a strong arm tactic to force you to dine there once a day. While the food is good the drinks at the bar are insanely priced. $17 for a rail vodka soda ? Seriously. It's business decisions like that make it no wonder it has protestors outside, who knows what they are pulling on the employees.

I'll start on the positive side: room is perfect - king size bed, clean, lots of space including a large working station.
the view is amazing, and the location is pretty nice as you can walk around to most attractions.
lobby receiptionists were really friendly and helpful, and I was really satisfied.
now the negative side: breakfast was completely disgusting. I didn't know one could mess up a simple thing as eggs..
it was just plain 4 hot platters buffet, with the scrambled eggs completely watery, store-bought drinks, and terrible coffee. I don't think I've ever ate such a terrible breakfast anywhere in the world. and the price was absurd - 30$ before taxes and tip!
other then that - there are protests outside the lobby who are shouting, screaming and drumming from early morning to late evening. fortunately I couldn't hear anything from the room or from the lobby, but when you step outside - your eardrums explode. in any sane country those people would have been asked to move to the other side of the street, but in America - it seems to be fine to hurt tourists eardrums. I would expect the hotel to put more effort to stop this harassment.

I've been staying at this hotel for years and I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Rooms are great (I took off one star because the AC was unusually loud), location is terrific and the staff is wonderful. Front desk is welcoming and warm and Maria in the club lounge is the loveliest. She seems to recognize just about everyone who stops in and stops what she's doing to welcome them in.

Wonderful food and service

Love Marriot! Wonderful experience from the minute the doorman open the door! Check in staff was friendly and very helpful. Ken in the bar is very personable and the service is great. The mattress and pillows were wonderful! Room was well cleaned.

The room we stayed in was remodeled for a nice modern--but still very comfortable--interior. The shower was awesome and the bed was a dream. We had a great view of the bay and Coit Tower. I would definitely recommend the place for a night in the city that won't break the bank.

Great location. This Marriott is undergoing renovations in early 2018 and I was able to get in one of the newer rooms. It was an updated room with more modern touches for a Marriott. The breakfast at the lounge (for platinum holders) was well done. I enjoyed my stay.
