My husband and I stayed here during our visit to San Francisco and we were extremely happy with this hotel. The location is great (one block from Union Square), the hotel was clean, they have free wine tasting in the evenings, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. We have nothing bad to say about his hotel. We would... more

Nice little hotel on Sutter/Powell street in the Union Square area. Lori's Diner is at the corner and Walgreens is across the street. The hotel itself has recently completed a renovation. The lobby is brand new and comfortable. It has two computer kiosks guests can use for free as well as a complimentary evening wine reception from 5:30pm to 6:30pm.... more

Stayed at Larkspur for one night on business trip. (small boutique hotel off Union Square). Location is excellent - close to shopping and restaurants. Staff is attentive and very professional. Room was one of the smallest rooms I've ever stayed in - with the smallest bathroom I've ever seen. Its fine for one person on a short visit but I'd... more

We went to San Francisco the 11th of June and we stayed on the Larkspur Hotel for 13 nights. I don´t regret I booked this hotel. We came all the way from Sweden so we wanted to stay a long time in a good hotel and the hotel was great! The location was nice, just a half block from the... more

We stayed at the Cartwright for 6 nights in May. This hotel is in a great location for Union Square, Chinatown, and cable cars to Fishermans Wharf and the Ferry Building (California line). We got the BART from the airport and walked up Powell with our cases, it's only a slight incline to Sutter. Like most reviews, the rooms are... more

The bed was very uncomfortable - after three nights my husband and I were rather sore and sleep-deprived. Our room shared a door with the next room and we could clearly... more

We booked online for this hotel, based on reviews on here and from friends and we would highly recommend this hotel to others IF: - You don't mind small clean washrooms within your room - You appreciate smaller botique hotels with heaps of character and charm - You enjoy listening to the distant sound of the cable-cars when you wake... more

I chose this hotel because of the reviews that menioned how good the... more

Yes, the Cartwright is undergoing renovations. Yes the bathrooms are small. The noise only occurs during working hours during the week and we only noticed it once. The bathroom is a little small but the shower was fantastic. The Cartwright is a small, old hotel but a very warm and welcoming place. The staff were all very nice and accommodating,... more
