Had a fabulous 5 night stay at the Chancellor. Wes gave a detailed explanation of what to do prior to arrival and the checkin is the same as hotel guests.
While we were independent travelers, the staff were very helpful to others around us. The little extras like the apples, cookies, fresh drinking water and tea and coffee were much appreciated and regularly used. The $25 food voucher gave us a great breakfast the first morning ( if we'd known how many pancakes, would have shared and had a second breakfast!).
The hotel is close to many restaurants and shops ( including an excellent Walgreens which gave us a quick and cheap breakfast most mornings). We got the MUNI passport for unlimited buses and trams plus the individually overpriced cable car, which we used extensively for our 4 days. Transport literally gets you everywhere and it's all very close to the hotel.
The room itself was good value - great bed, some comfy chairs, a large walk in storage and good bathroom. Also a functional refrigerator.
Would stay here without hesitation.
