Top Half Moon Bay Hotel Reviews

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent
"This place was amazing.. when you step out of your car you feel like you are in the 1940’s. The bellmen helps you up to your room and even places your luggage into the closet. This place was so amazing. I will definitely stay there again just for the wonderful experience. Even without air-conditioning the rooms are super cool because the windows open, which are rare and they have ceiling fans and an extra fan if you get hot. I really felt like I was on vacation at this hotel."
