Fine hotel for the downtown area

Pros: Staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
Cons: Housekeeping was a bit weird (didn't replace the soap), tipped one of my bottles over in the bathroom, added a down pillow (others foam as requested)
The hotel is located in the downtown 'but' on the edge of The Tenderloin. As long as you walk toward the main downtown area, it's a great location at a reasonable price. Staff was great and accommodating. Convenience store and Walgreen's across the street. Room was on the smaller side but totally adequate and comfortable. A little 'funky' in decor but certainly interesting and unique.

An urban oasis

I booked the Marker hotel at the last minute. I was looking for something close to union square that would not break the bank. Checked in to an opulent lobby with beautiful large fireplaces and turn of the century touches. My room was both comfortable and functional. I had a wonderful stay and hope to return soon.

Awesome!

Everyone was very friendly! They made sure we were comfortable at every turn. An amazing valet named Spencer was very helpful! The room and hotel were impeccable. The only thing I'd change is that they only supply coffee pots on request and it took a while to get. By the time it came, I was ready to leave.

Hotel is Ok!

Cons: Unfortunately the hotel staff was not too friendly. Perhaps was just my experience?
Hotel is average compared to other on the same price line. Location wise is a little sketchy. Close to some attractions. Overall it is over priced for what you get.

Good Experience

Pros: Location and proximity to services. Hotel staff was very helpful and courteous. Food in the restaurant was very good.
Cons: Well, the worst thing was the view out our room window: Roof air conditioning units.
Location: Transportation was right out front. Stores right across the street. Civic attractions within walking distance.
The Monaco was conveniently located and the staff was very courteous and helpful from start to finish.
