Just returned from a 2ngt break with my husband. As noted by others the location is second to none being one block from Union Square and Macy's, 2 min walk to China town and 5min walk to cable cars for Fisherman's Wharf. Stayed in the Westin St Francis last time and although it hasn't got the grandeur and facilities of... More

I recently stayed here for 5 nights while attending a conference at the Moscone center. The first thing to note is how central and convenient the hotel is. Having caught the BART train from the airport to powell street($8.10) I had only a simple 5 min walk to the hotel, which is one small block up from union square. I... More

My daughter and I stayed this past Saturday, parking across the street for 24 hours was $18.00, we were in room 407, really cute, functional, clean and quiet until 11:30 when the music started, with that said, I was expecting it due to earlier reviews, it did end at 2AM. It is so centrally located I was surprised how quiet... More

I stayed here recently while in town for work and overall it is really nice and the location is prime, especially for the price. The room was comfortable and very trendy and the building is old but modern at the same time. The only negative thing I would have to say is that the continental breakfast was literally just orange... More

I loved the inside vibe of the hotel lobby: modern and hip. The hallways have a dark and mysterious air to it...almost like an old school San Francisco type of look. The rooms are modern and adequate (not huge, but not small) in size. We stayed one night, but would have loved to have stayed some more. The bed was... More

I really enjoyed my time at this hotel. I stayed for a week exploring the city and the attractions. The hotel staff were kind and helpful, willing to help with any request. The bed was so comfy, better than mine at home. The hotel is 2 blocks from the cable cars, main shopping area and lots of restaurants. The location... More

We just finished a one-night stay at the Crescent and we will definitely go back. We live locally (within 45 minutes of SF) and just wanted a reasonably priced place to stay so we could go to dinner and do City things without having to drive home. The Crescent was perfect. It is in fantastic position relative to Union Square,... More

we often visit the city and stay in a larger hotel. Looking for an alternative, we found this hotel online and were attracted by their description of the rooms and services. Failure. Starting with an unfriendly reception, we had to realize that the wifi did not work in our room (which is true for some part of the hotel), the... More

My husband and I stayed at the Crescent Hotel for two nights after the Christmas holiday. I was searching for a hotel near Union Square and this hotel fit the bill, it was affordable, has a great location, and is a nice hotel. I booked the Crescent Junior room which is the smallest room. It has a double bed, flat... More
