The Marker San Francisco

Ana Teresa Perry

We stayed at the marker after a memorable evening at the nutcracker ballet. I’m so glad we did. Just unbeatable atmosphere for Christmas! My two granddaughters were with us & they were exited beyond measure to see the folks dressed in period clothing singing Christmas carols in the library of the hotel.They asked the girls if they had any favourite songs & sang with them! So sweet! The lobby was decorated beautifully and is sparkling clean. Then, there was the room. Although this property is in the tenderloin, & pretty sketchy outside, we felt safe & secure. It is an old old building but doesn’t feel dated at all. Our room, a king corner suite was so roomy, quiet & comfortable. The bathroom was incredible & the girls stayed in the huge soaking tub for an hour! The staff, & Dali in particular went above & beyond making our stay perfect. I was disappointed at first that the Fairmont didn’t have any rooms available but from now on, I will always choose the Marker. The service is better and the rooms are actually nicer for 1/2 the price. What a great place!

Spent an anniversary at this terrific hotel. The room was meticulously clean and tidy, and the fixture and fittings were excellent. I appreciated some small details like the fridge being in a nicely designed cupboard and unobtrusive and silent as a result, the lighting and design being that of a much more expensive room, and we also enjoyed the Murder Mystery dinner downstairs. I would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it. Special shout out to Assistant Manager Dhali Robinson for the warm welcome.

The Marker at Union Square is an absolute standout. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the city, incredibly central, easy to walk everywhere, and surprisingly quiet considering how vibrant the area is. We visited during the Christmas season,🌲🎁 and the decorations were beautifully done—festive without being over the top. One of the highlights was a live a cappella singing group, which was an absolute delight and really added to the holiday magic. This is truly a pet-friendly 🐶hotel. We saw plenty of well-behaved pups, and it felt genuinely welcoming to travelers with dogs. The rooms are extremely comfortable, making it easy to relax after a long day exploring the city. But the real standout is the staff💛—everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. This is definitely a hotel we will be coming back to. Highly recommended!

The room was great and everything was very clean. Fitness room had great options. The staff was amazing: the front desk gave us lunch and public transport recommendations which was so helpful. We encountered the manager and HR Director who were just amazing and super accommodating. The lobby area with the fireplace is soooo cozy to hangout in and they had some performances going on on Friday night which was a treat. Super walkable to union square. Only heads up is if you go the opposite direction of Union Square, there is a large homeless presence--not shocking for a big city and no one gave me any trouble, just something to be aware of. The walls seem a little thin and and doors slam pretty hard, but the guests seemed to keep pretty quiet, I didn't get woken or disturbed. Would definitely go back!

We were here Christmas week. They had a lovely Christmas tree and holiday decorations. And, a very cozy fireplace to sit by in the lobby. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and attentive. The valet could have been a little better. There was no offer for assistance with parking our car or luggage cart until after we struggled with loading it and asking about what to do with our car. I would like to know what the "Fond Farewell" is that was mentioned in the hotel feedback questionnaire. We heard nothing about this during our online booking or in-person interactions with the staff, and now I'm intrigued/disappointed.
