I spent a week at Hotel Zelos, and had a great stay. The staff was always super-friendly at all hours of the day, the rooms were clean and comfy, and the location was pretty convenient. There are nearby grocery/convenience stores, restaurants, and good proximity to the Embarcadero for waterfront runs. The rooms were pretty "stock" hotel rooms, but they were clean, the linens and towels were good q...

Almost didn’t want to write this review because I don’t ...

Pros (+) The location was great and my room was quiet.
Cons (-) There was a bit of mildew odor in the bathroom. If not for that I would have given an excellent rating, instead of good, for my stay.

Pros (+) Close to everything in Union Square, clean and nice-looking inside.
Cons (-) ...but that translates to a little over $300 a night, which isn't really worth it. Avoid it during the conventions in town.

Pros (+) Good arrival and wait staff were both friendly and efficient. The door man was great and the team inside were extremely helpful. I have stayed in other SF hotels in the past and Hotel Zelos is a nice addition to the city. City hotel rooms can sometimes be small but the rooms at Zelos are very spacious! I also would like to say thank you for an overall smooth and fun experience! From booking on lin...
Cons (-) Mixed message on parking After speaking with associates on two separate occasions. Then the confusion in the garage, mind you I thought I lost my ticket to return however I unpacked it when I arrived back home this evening. There was a problem between the hand written sign in log from the valet and the printed report from the front desk and the hotel's portion of valet claim check system also did ...

Pros (+) Front desk personnel and bell service were exceptionally helpful. Rooms were nicely appointed - largest TV I've ever had in a hotel room. Central location right at Powell St. BART Station allowed me to get there quickly from Oakland Airport.
