TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

When I booked this hotel, I was a bit skeptical. The rate seemed too low for the hotel to be above average. I'm happy to say, I was wrong. The Marker was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I did have one hiccup upon arrival; however, the manager and staff went above and beyond to fix the error. The King rooms are spacious and comfortable. Some things could use an update, but based on a conversation with the manager, they're actually planning on updating the rooms in the near future. Overall, though, they're much better than a lot of places. The building itself is beautiful, built in 1907 but with all the modern conveniences a traveler needs. Really lovely how they've blended the building's historic features with how we travel today. Unfortunately, I did not get the manager's name, but he is fantastic! Really nice, helpful guy. The one tip I do have if you're traveling alone, the hotel sits near the border of the Tenderloin. If you turn right out of the front door, you're fine. If you turn left, be aware of your surroundings.

This was my best overall hotel experience ever! In San Fran for my son’s wedding. Our party had five rooms at the Marker. The happy couple had reserved at a nearby hotel with a big fancy name and amazing online room pics. They got into their room, immediately checked out and came to the Marker. The bride was practically in tears. The Marker accommodated them with a bridal suite at a very reasonable price. And they were pleased. Okay, so, that’s nice. Here’s the thing, the Marker is GORGEOUS! It has a whole classic Hollywood film vibe with the beautiful staircase straight back off the entrance, a fireplace to the back, with well-placed seating for intimacy for comfort, or whatever your mood…. I’m trying not to make this review too long, but there’s so much I want to say. I have been in 4 and 5 star hotels. No complaints. What I loved sooo much about this one was that it’s all that, but not too much. Everything felt convenient. The restaurant was good. We only had breakfast there, but they have a to-die-for smashed potato that I’m still trying to replicate! No luck so far. The best part, the SERVICE!!! EVERYONE was so accommodating. I got names, but I don’t want to leave anyone out. They all seemed to love their job and genuinely care to meet and exceed our every expectation. There’s usually something that I take issue with, because I’m hard to please. At the Marker Union Square, not one single thing. I read that the rooms were old and musty. Not my experience, and I was in and out of a few. And thank you for hooking my son and his bride up last minute, and at such a reasonable price. You saved the day. Front to back, bottom to top, side to side, this spot here, highly recommended.

The Marker hotel is in a great location to base yourself while visiting San Fran. The staff were so friendly and helpful and lovely to deal with. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and the rooms were a good size, nicely decorated and always clean.

The room was super comfortable and I loved the reusable water bottles with the refill station! It’s the little things like that, that made the stay so great. The staff could not have been more pleasant. The gym was clean and the equipment was all new and in good condition. Will stay again!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the central location made it incredibly convenient to explore the city. The service was outstanding – the staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. Highly recommended!
