Overall was very impressed with this hotel. We were planning to do a holiday on the West Coast of USA with a lot of travelling around and could only stay 1 night in San Francisco so we were not worried about the quality of our hotel just the location. When we arrived we were so pleasantly surprised, the hotel was... more

The hotel is located near by Union Square and Market Street, which was fine. Unfortunately our room was very worn down, and the carpets were disgusting! Internet access costs 5 $ for 5 minutes. There is valet parking for approximately 30 $ pr. day. For breakfast go to Cafe Mason at Mason Street a few minutes walk away. more

We have just returned from 5 nights at the Hotel Mark Twain and were pleasantly suprised. The hotel is only 2 blocks from Union Square and at only £50 a night there were no complaints from us. Yeh the bathrooms a little small but it's not a problem unless your overweight. When leaving the hotel and heading to Union Square... more

This has to be one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. The rooms barely fit 2 people, the elevator is decrepit, the location is horrible. Between the drug dealers, prostitutes and bums on the street I would seriously recommend anyone with a family or wife to look some where else. This nehborhood is not family friendly AT... more

This hotel was a pleasant surprise for the CHEAP price. Staff was more than helpful, room was spacious and clean, and location was great for downtown. more

I really do love the new look they have. Very comfortable looking rooms and a very classic homey feel. They completely redesigned it since the last time I was there and it was a very pleasant surprise. The customer service is also second to none. I've had to rebook, reschedule, and completely drop my stays before and was always greeted... more

A friend recommended the Mark Twain to me as a great value alternative to the larger hotels. Boy, am I glad I took her advice! The room was small, but clean and recently updated, with some amenities typically found only in more expensive hotels, such as a flat screen TV, ceiling fan, nice wooden hangers not lashed to the closet... more

This hotel is located in the downtown financial and commercial center of San Francisco, maybe far from the docks and the golden gate, but at a glance to business district, you can walk and appreciate the fog city's skyscrapers and the Italian district is at walking distance. There is also a cable car line station very close, you can see... more

I stayed at the Hotel Mark Twain from July 2007 to January 2008. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms themselves are nice- comfy bed, good cable. The hotel is located within an easy walk of Union Square. The Fish & Farm restaurant is located in the hotel lobby (though not affiliated with the hotel). Have dinner at the... more

A group of us stayed at the Hotel Mark Twain this weekend for the Vikings/49ers game. The hotel is lovely. It has a quaint, European feel. If you're looking for a Four Seasons, you've got the wrong place, but if you're looking for a nice accomodating staff and comfortable beds, this is the place for you. The restaurant, however, is... more

Management response from

The ownership of Fish & Farm restaurant would like to reply to the December 11, 2007 posting regarding our establishment. Yes we did have to stop serving several guests alcohol that evening. The control of a liquor license is a priviledge not a right. To that end we must protect the general citizenry from abuse and/or incidents which evolve from...
