Hotel Boheme vs. Chancellor

Any opinion about these 2. I have read the reviews. Just looking for a comparison. Also, North Beach vs. Union Sq. I%26#39;m looking for walking ease, transportation and safety. Boheme is a little less by the way.

Hotel Boheme vs. Chancellor

I think the Chancellor has a better location and most people would think it was more central. I think in terms of quality, they are probably similar.

I think it you want more of a neighborhood feel, the Boheme is the place. I think it just depends on what you%26#39;re looking for. I really haven%26#39;t heard anything bad about either.

Hotel Boheme vs. Chancellor

I believe the Boheme is more of a B%26amp;B style place with the entrance on the second floor of a building in North Beach.

The Chancellor is a historic boutique hotel in Union Square.

Union Square would suit your requirements (transportation - safety etc ) much better and you cant get much closer to Union Square than the Chancellor.

For the little extra I%26#39;m sure you would be much happier at the Chancellor.

Have a great visit.

The consensus in this forum is the Chancellor, a half-block from Union Square.

With Boheme you can still hop on a bus on Columbus or Union and go places. I%26#39;ve walked from Chancellor to the Boheme area in less than ten minutes and I have short legs, I mean a short stride. I stayed at the Washington Square Inn, which is not too far from Boheme, and have walked around that area late at night (for late coffee) and I felt safe by myself. I enjoyed waking up, looking out my window, and seeing people in the park doing their thing. That was one of my best memories of that vacation.

As for the Chancellor, when I stayed there I enjoyed being so close to everything because of it%26#39;s central location. I loved staying in a busy area and being in the hustle and bustle of it all. You can pretty much walk anywhere and be somewhere. I stayed there the first time I went to San Francisco and I was happy with my location. Just walking out the front door I liked the vibe I felt.

When I go back I%26#39;ll probably stay further out like in the Richmond area or on the other side near Haight or maybe Noe Valley/Mission.

Maybe I helped, maybe I didn%26#39;t. I just love reliving the moment.

No you didn%26#39;t help at all. Just kiddin. Thanks. I still think I%26#39;m going for Union Sq location since this is my first visit. Now, I%26#39;m considering Hotel 480 which used to be the Crowne Plaza. If anyone knows anything about this one. I%26#39;ve read the reviews.

Well,your are covering the whole spectrum here from a B%26amp;B type, Boutique Historic type and now a more modern chain type hotel.

Also you have via your other post thrown in the Hotel Union Square.

Before you get too confused and find another, decide on what type of hotel would suit your likes and dislikes and just compare the TA reviews for each one and the winner will become obvious.

Have a great visit.

The former Crowne Plaza is your typical large convention hotel. Location is good, you can%26#39;t go wrong there. I think it just depends on what you want: a boutique/historic hotel or a large convention type hotel. Neither is really bad, just very different from one another.

The former Crowne Plaza, now Hotel 480, or whatever, has been bought (by whom I do not remember) and is undergoing restoration. I wouldn%26#39;t want to stay there under those circumstances.

Just do the Chancellor. You will be SO glad you did. The rooms were refurbished last year, and very tastefully, and it has the best management and staff in the city, in my opinion.

It is also charming, which 480 is not.

Here%26#39;s another vote for Chancellor. If you do stay there, please say hi to Linda at the restaurant. She was our server during 2 breakfasts we had there.

Go for Chancellor. You won%26#39;t regret it.

I booked the Chancellor. Ok, I%26#39;m done. For hotels anyway. Thanks
