The Spotlight on Mayflower Hotel

Classic Charm in the Heart of San Francisco

Located just a short stroll from Union Square, Mayflower Hotel Inc offers a vintage San Francisco experience with modern comforts. This budget-friendly hotel has an old-school charm, with cozy rooms, free WiFi, and a central location that puts you within easy reach of the city’s major music venues and nightlife.
Ideal for travelers wanting character over flash, the Mayflower is a favorite for guests who appreciate a homey vibe and walkability.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Mayflower’s prime location means you’re just minutes from some of San Francisco’s most popular live music venues. After the show, it’s an easy walk or quick rideshare back to your room. The 24-hour front desk is a plus for late arrivals or spontaneous post-concert plans, and the peaceful setting just off the main drag offers a quieter place to crash after a big night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends making a music weekend out of it
  • Solo travelers attending a dream concert
  • Couples looking to combine shows with sightseeing
  • Fans needing a calm retreat after the crowd
  • Budget-conscious fans who want location without overspending

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re just a few blocks from countless late-night diners, international eateries, and cafes. Grab a post-show bite or early breakfast at one of the nearby spots. The hotel provides free toiletries and in-room comforts, so staying in with snacks is always an option too.

Nightlife Options

From live jazz bars to indie lounges, the Mayflower puts you within reach of San Francisco’s diverse nightlife. Union Square is a hub for cocktail bars and cozy pubs, and nearby neighborhoods like the Tenderloin and SoMa offer everything from underground clubs to rooftop hangouts.

What People Say

Guests love the charming vintage décor, friendly staff, and unbeatable location. Many highlight the clean, comfortable rooms and say it’s a hidden gem for the price. Plus, the quiet atmosphere makes it a restful place after a long night out.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t have air conditioning, which might be noticeable during rare warm nights. The building’s historic nature means no modern frills like elevators beyond the basics—but for most guests, the charm outweighs the quirks.

The Bottom Line

If you want a budget-friendly, classic San Francisco stay close to the concert action but far enough to unwind—Mayflower Hotel Inc delivers.

Liked: Amazing hotel in downtown San Francisco! The elevator was a very cool experience.
Disliked: The entry to the onsite garage was very narrow so we didn’t chance damage to our vehicle so we had to pay for parking down the street. But not a big deal.

Liked: So many great hole-in-the-wall restaurants! Coming back to the room was like coming home. Not only clean but extraordinarily well maintained. Speaking as one who knows what it takes to deal with the never-ending cracks that come out of nowhere in a century-old structure.
Disliked: I wouldn't change anything.

The Mayflower Hotel is a...

Liked: Owing to its close proximity to the Tenderloin and very low rates, I suspected that the Mayflower Hotel would be a no frills kind of hotel, but I was delightfully surprised to find that the hotel was quite safe, clean, and efficiently run. The hotel sits on a very safe street on the border outside of the Tenderloin, there were plenty of clean towels and amenities, and the staff were extremely kind and accommodating. They even provided a buffet breakfast with toast and cereal.
Disliked: My one critique would be that the windows desperately need a cleaning as they were quite dirty and smudged from weather and smog.
