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.

Very good

Liked: Though the lobby looks a bit outdated, it was pleasantly large, calm and well decorated including plants that created an atmosphere of serenity. Aging elevators but stairs (we were located on the 5th floor) became part of your daily finess plan (+ the walking in SF streets). Not to mention we selected Mayflower due its central location which came out as essential in our plan to extensively discover "the beautiful city by the bay".Clean room, nothing fancy in it but it "did the job" housing a 4 members family after wandering in SF! Last but not least, breakfast was impatiently awaited with DIY (tasty) waffles, great coffee, eggs, toasts. We missed the fruits a bit. But overall a rewarding experience hence I recommend
Disliked: the fruits at breakfast, and the breakfast area (definitely a bit small). But we managed!!!

Very good

Liked: Delicious breakfest, simple, but sufficient. Locality is close to the city center with grocery store in the same building.
Disliked: Mostly sweet options at breakfest. Some cheese or ham would be nice. The room facilities were a bit old.

Pleasant

Liked: We already used this accomodation in the past, and we enjoyed its optimal position and old-times style. Unfortunately, this year we found it to have become quite less enjoyable:1. At our arrival the beds were done, but we had to remove the thrash left from the previous occupants by ourselves;2. The small fridge was so dirty we couldn't use it at all;3. The breakfast - which years before was one of the best one could find in that price range in the nearby - was limited to some bread, cold hardboiled eggs, some bananas and little more.In conclusion: the place still keeps its old San Francisco style, the staff is quite kind, and the location is optimal for visiting the city - but there's still some work to do to give it back the shine of its past.

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.
