"Shops nearby were helpful. Super close to a big Macy’s that had food options and in walking distance of a Trader Joe’s. The pool was under maintenance while we stayed which we were not informed about before hand. That was disappointing. "

"Location is excellent! The room is spacious and clean. Water pressure in the shower is very good, however the sink faucet the water is very slow it was a struggle to wash your hands! "

"Always a good experience at The Marker. Easy, prompt, and polite check in which always leads to an enjoyable stay. The lobby and grand staircase is always an experience and elevates my stay every time. Appreciate the VIP perks, sad a room upgrade wasnt available, the suites are always a nice treat! Rooms can be on the smaller side and don't always come with a view, but the unique decor and layout allievate any space issues. Close to Union Square, BART/MUNI, and various restaurants. "

"Breakfast was great. Erita checked ua in and was great. Gave us wonderful tips of what to see all over the City. She recognized us and made us feel the love!!!"

"I loved the location of the property and the beautiful views of the marina from our room. I do think it's time to upgrade the furniture in the rooms. They were pretty wore down. But the staff was great and i'd defintely come back."

"Breakfast was excellent"

"Yes! We watched the ocean from our room!"

"We have always had a positive experience staying at CQ. The front desk staff greet you with a smile and check in is always so easy. We love the convenience of the espresso machine in the lobby, and Adam is always such a hospitable bartender in the restaurant. The location is key where the ferry building is an easy walk and Northbeach is at your fingertips for great food and fun. Union Square is close too."

"I’m hoping someone reads this review because I wish I had read reviews before booking. First, this hotel is not affiliated with Embassy Suites. That’s what I assumed when I booked, but it’s actually a completely separate hotel called The Embassy. It’s located in the Tenderloin District, one of the rougher areas of San Francisco. The location was not clearly advertised when booking, and if you’re a solo female traveler, I would strongly recommend avoiding this area. They even lock the front entrance door, so at times you have to ring a bell to be let in. That alone should tell you how rough the neighborhood can be. To be fair, the towels and linens were clean and the staff was friendly, but the hotel itself is very dated and worn. The building has an old charm, but the moment we walked into our room it smelled like cigarette smoke, even though it’s supposed to be smoke-free. We had to notify management.There is no air conditioning, only an old furnace system that may or may not work. Luckily San Francisco weather is cool, so opening the window helped, but the street noise is loud, which may bother some guests. Also, the photos on Expedia are heavily filtered and misleading compared to the actual condition of the hotel.Amenities are minimal, only a small fridge, no real extras, and the TV isn’t Bluetooth enabled. If you just need a cheap place to sleep, it may be fine. But if you prefer cleaner, more modern accommodations or are traveling alone, I’d recommend staying elsewhere."
