We enjoyed our stay at Touchstone in San Francisco. It is SO close to Union Square - but much less expensive. Everything was just as advertised. There are no "frills" here -- but absolutely nothing to complain about. I thought we were 'downgrading' a bit and saving money -- but everything was good quality/clean/etc. All of the people behind the desk were very friendly, helpful, and quick. *I had seen a picture of a room with two twin beds and the room looked VERY small; I was a little concerned that our room with two doubles would be small (and that the pictures looked deceptively not small); being so close to tourist city center - that would be fair to have small rooms; however, our room very a very reasonable size, two closets, a nice little desk and chair; and a decent bathroom. Our room was next to the elevator which concerned me at first - while I did hear the machinery of the elevator a couple times during the night - there was no loud talking, or otherwise people making a lot of noise from the elevator and walking down the hall. It is a small hotel - with its door in between two restaurants, but we found it with no trouble at all. The parking they mention: they have a discount at a parking lot about a block up and half a block down a side street. I still consider $30 a night expensive since I'm already paying for the hotel! -- but it's MUCH cheaper than other hotels or finding a parking lot nearby. They were also friendly and we had no issues.

There was nothing we didn't like. They weren't the fluffiest towels, largest room, or comfiest beds -- but they were good clean towels, a fair sized room, and comfortable beds.

Great central location with an excellent staff on hand at all times. The room was spacious and comfortable. Very good value for money.

Occasional noise from the street, usually shouting but that's to be expected given the location near Union Square.

It had everything needed, the staff was really nice, it is affordable

The building is an old one

Excelente ubicación, instalaciones muy limpias, personal muy amable

Todo estuvo bien

Front desk staff are friendly contactable approachable and helpful. I like the breakfast area ambient. Strategic location overall.

Close to Union Square. Great diner attached

Room was a little dark and bathroom smells of food from kitchen?

Good location and it was cheap

You get what you paid for. Heater wasn't working so you were told to get portable heaters from the hallway they left out (which I was not instructed until I called the front desk to ask to fix heater). No mini fridge or way to boil water, and the hair dryer barely worked.

Muy buena ubicación. El personal muy amable

Falta una cafetera y frigobar en la habitación
