citizenM San Francisco Union Square 4 stars

Downtown San Francisco, San Francisco

Ideally set in San Francisco, citizenM San Francisco Union Square features air-conditioned rooms, a fitness centre, free WiFi and a shared lounge. The property is around less than 1 km from Moscone Center, a 16-minute walk from San Francisco City Hall and 2.7 km from Oracle Park. The property is non-smoking and is situated 400 metres from Union Square. It’s a wonderful place to stay in San Francisco. Very clean and modern, staff is super friendly, and the location is absolutely perfect — it’s very easy to get to/from the airport and every possible attraction is within reach. The rooms are indeed small but as a solo traveler, I didn’t have any issue with that. Can’t think of a better value-for-money option in SF.
