The 131-room Hotel Union Square is a modern, streamlined hotel in a historic building in the heart of San Francisco's Union Square. Popular with guests seeking a central location, this property has cozy, sometimes small rooms with coffeemakers and flat-screen TVs. There is a cable car line directly in front of the hotel and perks include an afternoon happy hour with free wine and free morning coffee. Wi-Fi is free, but some guests have complained about weak soundproofing and dark, interior-facing rooms.

The 153-room, mid-range Hotel G San Francisco is a modern haven in the heart of Union Square, with 24-hour front desk service, on-site dining and cocktails, an ultramodern fitness center, and an elegant meeting room. Industrial chic rooms, some with city views, have flat-screen TVs, sleek furniture, and Nespresso coffeemakers. The exposed cement flooring -- so much a part of the look here -- and bustling streets below can, however, make the rooms noisy -- it's the tradeoff for a prime location.

The mid-range, 137-room Chancellor Hotel right off Union Square doesn't have loads of amenities, but for those seeking a great, central location and a bit of boutique charm, it might fit the bill. Rooms are small but clean; decor is modern, but the age of the building does show in places (such as the machine stucco walls). There are a cozy restaurant and bar on-site, and guests are offered free use of a gym and pool a block away. Free drinks and snacks are always on offer in the lobby. All in all, it's an excellent pick given the reasonable price, though it may be worth comparing rates with the nearby Hotel Triton.

The 99-room Herbert Hotel is a modernly designed historic building on the Powell Street cable car line near Union Square. Rooms are hip and contemporary, with brick walls, flat-screen TVs, and mini-fridges, but lack air-conditioning. Economy Rooms share bathrooms. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and there's luggage storage on-site, and while the simple hotel doesn't have any on-site dining options, there are plenty of places to go out in the surrounding area. As a value option, rates are low for downtown San Francisco.

The 91-room Hotel Abri is a stylish haven near Union Square, with concierge services, an Italian restaurant and bar, a boardroom, a 24-hour business center, and a sundries store. Modern rooms have flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges; suites have living rooms and DVD players. It's a great upper-middle-range value for the central location, but it's worth comparing rates with the more upscale Hotel Nikko (which has an indoor pool) and the iconic Sir Francis Drake, which are sometimes not much more expensive.

Four-pearl Hotel Zeppelin stands out from the chain masses with funky yet carefully curated '60s-themed decor and a boutique vibe. An upscale, casual-cool atmosphere is on display everywhere, from the cozy lobby bar with exposed-brick accents to the popular restaurant Rambles to the downstairs game room and lounge. There’s also a small gym, free bike rentals, and room service. The 196 rooms and suites are chic, though they run small, with funky bathrooms wallpapered in psychedelic lettering plus amenities like Nespresso machines, mini-fridges, and free bottled water. The location is ideal, near Union Square’s high-end shops and public transit. The area is pricey, though, and Hotel Zeppelin is no exception, charging a nightly resort fee, plus extra for breakfast and parking. For a more classic upscale vibe, consider Sir Francis Drake.

A sexy 202-room property that doubles as a hip art gallery, the Hotel Zelos San Francisco (formerly Hotel Palomar) has spacious, comfortable rooms, free coffee and tea in the mornings, free Wi-Fi, and an upscale restaurant on the 5th floor. Other downtown boutiques may cost less, but the Zelos is a cut above for a hip, romantic getaway.

This mid-range boutique hotel, located just across the street from the Chinatown gates, has plenty of personality and freebies (a free wine hour and free freshly baked afternoon cookies, to name a few). The lobby is bright and funky and rooms have quirky, charming decor, but they're on the small side, some can get serious street noise, and there are window air conditioners rather than central air. All in all, it's a fun, excellent choice for the price, though it's worth comparing rates with the Hotel Rex, which also has a free wine hour, a pet-friendly policy, and boutique charm.
