The hotel was fine, handy to Union square, cable car and shops. Room was dark and window exterior really grubby. Lifts were slow and can slither down stairs if happy to do so, but not well lit at all. Protestors for Marriott and Westin I know were outside hotels control but were on both opp corners to us and with single glazed windows, we were awake at 6am with drums and chanting all day - been ongoing we hear for months.
A lovely boutique hotel with old world charm and exceptional attention to detail. Great area for food, transport & shopping. Everyone was friendly & helpful will definitely come again.
Great spot and location that’s affordable. I will say that the person who checked me in said my room number out loud with other people in the lobby which is a huge safety issue. Especially with a hotel with no keycard to the rooms
The location is great, walking distance to stores and many many restaurants . It’ right in front of other 5 star hotels such as the Westin and Marriot, and for half the price you get basically the same location. All rooms have a bathtub and they have really cool pillow menu. The propriety is perfect if you are looking for an affordable yet clean, well located and cozy hotel.
Chancellor is in a great spot next to Union Square the rooms are great and the hotel is very nice and clean beds are so comfy with the added extra of coffee when you want and cookies for breakfast. I would definitely recommend.
Stay there with a friend , plenty places to eat around and we felt pretty safe despite being in Union Square, parking is close but we decided to take uber to go dancing . Room was clean and we slept good , we were in a high floor so really didn’t hear any particular noise . Staff was just fine , polite .

Great local place to Union Square and can walk everywhere
A nice historic hotel with large, spacious room and bathroom. Staff was friendly, and the hotel has a complimentary fruit, cookies, and water in the lobby for guests. There is a small bar which is open Tuesday thru Saturday, and the hotel gives a 2 for 1 drink voucher for guests. Great location that is close to shopping, restaurants, and public transportation. Overall a wonderful stay!

How old the hotel was and the beauty of the building
It looks like an old school downtown hotel...and maybe even feels a bit old when you walk in, but the service is amazing and the rooms are newly remodeled and the location couldn't be better.
This is a quiet boutique hotel that doesn’t have all the amenities of a larger hotel but due to its location that is convenient to food & shopping the fact that it’s quiet “low key” is a bonus. I love the lobby area, free cookies & coffee & small bar area. It’s exactly what I need when I’m in the city.

I have stayed here at on at least 10
occasions. Great staff, location, classic
boutique hotel.
The property has an unbeatable location, within 3-5 minutes from the Santa Monica Pier. However the hotel is small and at least my room was very small, especially the bathroom. The staff was helpful.

The room doesn’t have AC and we got the top floor - very hot. Even with fans on and the window open. The room and bathroom were good. The bed was comfortable. The best thing is how close it is to Union Square and all the shopping. If you come here get a bottom floor, heat rises.
