A no-nonsense hotel, fairly huge and generic, but great for the business traveler who might have some time off to enjoy the city. Near shopping, Chinatown, MoMA, ballpark, Embarcadero and more. If you're looking for charm or romance, this isn't the place. But for everything else, a good choice.

Nice enough hotel but don't plan on sleeping in. Right next door is an old church that begins bell ringing at 730 on Saturday morning included. Apparently this occurs every morning. Very unpleasant experience. Towels are from an economy hotel. Something you would see at a 6-motel. Looks like Marriott is cutting corners on this hotel.

I stayed here for a recent convention, and I was amazed at how friendly and helpful the staff was. Usually at convention hotels with lots of teenagers, the staff seems to be a bit irritated by all the kids, however this was not the case here. I even commended the staff on their service. The beds here were heavenly as... More

We stayed at the Marriott while in town for a Giants game and the location was great. It was easy to walk to the ballpark and back. The hotel is located just south of Market near Yerba Buena, MOMA, and many excellent restaurants (Annabelle's is just across the street.) Our 25th floor corner room was clean, quiet and spacious, with... More

I've stayed at this hotel five or six times since it was constructed, mostly recently for a conference in April, 2013. It's always been consistent with clean rooms, good food, and close to shopping, business and tourist attractions. During our last stay we were upgraded to a suite with a lovely view of the city and the Bay Bridge. My... More

Had been at the JW earlier in the week so this is a direct comparison. I am partial to this hotel as it seems newer, the lounge is bigger, with better food and had bottled water (but with no views as it is on the 2nd floor; better signage to the lounge would be helpful too as we were given... More

Another standard, full-service Marriott in the Bay area (comparative to my usual hotel - the Airport Waterfront in Burlingame). Rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. On the 18th floor with a great view of the city. The location of this hotel is great - just below Union Square, just west of the Financial District, right next to the MOMA and... More

If you are unlucky, you can be looking at the dark alley, if you are lucky and perhaps get an upgrade you can end up in a nice room overlooking the city, sea, watch the sunset from your windows. The rooms on higher floors are plus if the trip is for pleasure and not just a sleeping. The hotel was... More

I stayed here for a few nights for a conference and had a great time. The staff were extremely friendly and recommended a couple lunch places and went out of their way to make me feel welcomed. The room was very clean and had a nice view of the city. Location was perfect for walking everywhere or catching a quick... More
