Relatively Affordable basic hotel in an old moderately maintained architecturally interesting building very close to Union square. Staff and room were good but not fancy.

This hotel has the feeling of a throwback in time, something like a murder mystery setting mixed with old-time charm.

I enjoyed my brief stay at the Kensington Park Hotel. The location close to Union Square is very nice and convenient. The hotel is in a historic building that I found charming.

Location was good, elks lodge was nice, good food & cheap drinks. The first room we had the heater wouldn’t shut off so we had to sleep with the window open and a fan on to blow out the hot air.We moved to another room which wasn’t as nice but the heater was OK.

I thought it was highly overpriced for what was supplied, not even a bottle of water in the room. The position was good and it was clean but that is about all that was positive. I would not stay there again at that price.

Relaxing music in the lobby to enjoy a hot drink before heading out in the morning was a nice touch. The old-time decor was charming. I've never spent any time in hotel lobbies, but this was a comfortable place to gather with our group in the mornings. The concierge was very polite, friendly and responsive.

An ideal location .. close to Union Square, Chinatown, Embarcadero, restaurants, block from Powell cable car. The room was comfortable and staff responsive to queries. This is an older hotel and some areas are showing their age. We considered it part of the charm. Immediate area was relatively safe but, as in any big city, stay vigilant and know the areas to stay clear of. We would stay again!
