Hotwire Hotel: 3* San Francisco (Union Square West) Hotel Metropolis

[spericson77]

I am looking for a hotel checking in 3/29/16 and checking out 04/02/16 in San Francisco.  I will be attending for a conference hosted at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square.

 

I have found a 3* hotel in Union Square West, but need help identifying it please.

 

It is a 3-star facility with the following details:

 

Free Internet, Business center, fitness center, restaurant(s), and smoke-free rooms.

 

It received an 80% recommendation rating on Hotwire and a 3.0 out of 5.0 rating on TripAdvisor.

 

Thank you in advance!

This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but the Hotel Metropolis would be a guess.

And on Hotwire it says the last person to book it got the Hotel Metropolis.  I didn't want to disclose that in my original post for fear of tainting the feedback.  I will post a follow up once a decision gets made about the booking.

 

As always, thanks for the feedback.

Based on info from Hotwire and confirmed by a board member before booking, I did get the Hotel Metropolis.  The reviews on TripAdvisor for this hotel are mixed, but seems like it's clean and the hotel is in a good spot for transportation connections.

 

Amenities:

Free Internet

Smoke-free rooms

Fitness center

Restaurant(s)

Business center

Internet access

Any feedback on places to eat in the area, especially for breakfast?

[thereuare]

Hopefully somebody more local to the area than i am can offer some advise.... although i did have some pretty good burritos in the Mission District a few years back.

I returned from my trip and wanted to follow up. Hotel Metropolis did the job, although it's not spectacular.  The location turned out to be great for my conference, but you are definitely on the edge of the Tenderloin.  However, I had no issues with the local residents.  You are likely to get only 1-bed Queen if you book via Hotwire, and if you call to request a 2-bed room (2 Queens) you will be charged $20 per night on top of what you booked already.

Glad to hear this worked well for your needs.

This hotel charges more for rooms with 2 beds vs. 1 bed even when booking direct, so an 'upcharge' to change a HOTWIRE reservation from 1 bed --> 2 beds seems appropriate.

 

Thanks for the follow-up!
