What a marvelous experience. I traveled to San Francisco with my 83 year old mother in May 08. The city is perfect for any age visitor. Beleive it or not the weather was fantastic! We happened to be there at the time of a heat wave 85 - 90 degrees everyday for five consecutive days. Stayed at the Hotel 480... more

We stayed at Hotel 480 June 21-23. We arrived early so they held our bags till we could check in later in the day. The bellman and the front desk clerk were very friendly. They both offered great advice about how to get tickets for the transporation in the city. The bellman drew a map and wrote down the Hotel... more

We stayed on the 18th floor of this hotel for seven nights. (Me, my wife and three kids aged 7, 9 and 9 yrs) The rooms were clean, and the service we received was as expected from a four star hotel... Toiletries and towels replaced every day, room immaculate on our return, etc. (One or two days the room was... more

This hotel has all the amenities you'd expect, the sort of room you'd expect, etc etc, and a spectacular view (I stayed at the 25th floor looking directly out over Union Square and SoMa). The staff was less than helpful though, a very cool reception at check-in, not superbly attentive staff in the restaurant, and porters who only offered help... more

We stayed at this hotel in February on our first visit to San Francisco - and we were extremely pleased with the location and value. It's located one block from Union Square, and there is a trolley stop just outside the hotel. There's also quite a few restaurants nearby, not to mention the one that's in the lobby. There is... more

I had stayed at this property in 1995 when it was a Holiday Inn, and loved the fact that it was right on the cable car line. During our most recent trip, we wanted to spend the night in San Francisco, and I was able to contact the hotel directly during our drive to book a room. While I had... more

Just stayed at Hotel 480 over Memorial Day Weekend. The hotel was in a great location, right near Union Square and all the shopping and about 3-4 blocks from China Town. Got a great deal for $119/night which I thought was good for a holiday weekend in San Fran. Staff was friendly, bartender recommended some restaurants and a fun piano... more

Stayed in Hotel 480 for 6 nights for a holiday. For the price paid (approx USD90), it was a great deal. The hotel is located just 2 blocks from Union Square where all the shopping and food are, just opposite a pharmacy / convenience store, borders bookstore, and right outside the cable car tram stop! Major bus lines, tram lines,... more

I am a frequent business traveler and stayed at the hotel for a personal reason, so I wasn't sure what I'd get for the money. This was an unexpectedly wonderful hotel. I used priceline to get 2 nights at $300 with tax included -- a steal in San Francisco's Union Square. It was a great stay, and the best part... more
