Checked in: Sept. 18, 2025. Checked out: Sept. 21, 2025. Strike 1: bad start at check-in. I emailed numerous times prior to arriving to request an early check in because our flight arrived 10 am. Emphasis on REQUEST because I know being in the travel industry myslef, it is not always available. I even offered to pay. No. Isis, the front desk agent at the time of my check in said room will be available at 4 p.m. Okay, strike one. Strike 2: curtains in room 1504 have holes. And the bathtub handle bar came loose. No body lotion. Had to run to Walgreens next door to get supplies. Strike 3: We requested late check out. We were given till 1:30 p.m. to check out. We did a tour in the morning, hand lunch in Chinatown, and came back to the hotel at 1 p.m. Well, guess what? When we got back to 15th floor, elevator door open, housekeeping lady was sitting outside the elevator door and said, "I've been waiting for you. Where did you go? I need to go home" I replied we were given until 1:30 pm to check out. She replied, I will wait for you. My partner and I were both stunned by her comment, so we had to hurry packing up and left the room in less than 20 minutes, leaving no tip for her. If I knew then what I know now, we would not have stayed in this hotel. Redeeming factor: bottle of "champagne" upon arrival to celebrate our anniversary. And yes, can't beat the location.

We had a one night stay at the Chancellor hotel. The staff were friendly and efficient. The room was clean and tidy. There is no AC in the room but it didn’t bother us in late September. We came here mainly for a concert at the Masonic and it is close to the hotel. The area around the hotel seems safe. We walked around to the Chinatown, little Italy and pier 39-all walkable. Definitely recommend this hotel!

Great place to stay

All staff that we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Our room was ready early so we were able to check in earlier than planned which was a great bonus. It’s a great hotel with a lot of character and the location was perfect for walking to our many adventures. We would 100% stay here again and recommend it to others!

I had a pleasant stay, the room was impeccable clean, small details count a lot and although it is an old building, I have no complaints at all, the staff was very nice and thoughtful, arrived past midnight and I was even offered late check out at no extra cost. I would stay here again.
