Perfect spot
Pros:

This hotel was amazing for the price point. Great location for all SF activities. We arrived at the end of a spring break trip that included 4 hotels. Hands down this was the best. From the moment we enterer the front desk staff was gracious and welcoming. Special shout out to Dhali Robinson who went above and beyond throughout our stay. He got us in our room early, wine coupons and all the info we needed to relax and feel good about our choice. I have stayed at The Fairmont and Stanford Court & now prefer The Marker. We briefly met Charles on our last night and he was equally friendly and welcoming. Hats off to The Marker!

Great Stay, Better Staff
Pros:

Stayed at the Marker during RSA and it was fantastic. The room was comfortable, felt safe, close to Union Square and Moscone Center. But the staff is what made the stay memorable. Charles, Dhali, and Priscilla were amazing. Kind, helpful, welcoming - the list goes on. I wasn’t in my room much, being in town for work, but they were always friendly and helpful. I’ve traveled to many hotels and worked front desk as well, and can honestly say they were some of the best I’ve dealt with in a long time.

Nettes sauberes ubd gemütliches Hotel
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, super sauber und ruhig.

Cons:

Zimmer etwas klein. Lage grds ok aber leider nur eine Querstraße von dem, für uns gefühlt, sehr heruntergekommenen Stadtteil entfernt, wo viele Obdachlose und Drogenkranke auf der Straße waren.
