With so many hotels to choose from in San Francisco, I was hoping I had selected one that I could call Excellent and Hotel 480 fit the bill! The hotel and room exceeded my expectation and the location is perfect! Following check-in by a very helpful staff, we walked across the street from the hotel and hopped on a cable car - even my 15 year-old daughter thought that was pretty cool! Our room was large and very comfortable for the three of us (2 adults, 1 teenager). And after my husband dragged us around the city until 11:00pm we were happy that there was a Starbucks on an opposite corner!

Would definitely recommed this hotel and it will be my first choice when we visit San Francisco again!

I recently stayed for 3 nights at the Hotel 480 and have no compaints whatsoever. Its a very decent hotel in a great location.

Its close to great shopping and the Bart as well as being convenient for most of the major tourist options.

All in all a solid hotel!

We stayed at the Hotel 480 on our honeymoon. Upon late arrival we were greeted at the curb by the bellhop who helped us with our bags from the cab. We were upgraded from a standard high-floor room to a corner suite looking out to the bay. The views were fantastic! The hotel staff was great and the Concierge was very helpful and friendly every time we needed help. They also arranged an airport shuttle for us.

The location is perfect, especially if you don't have a rental car. The cable car line is right outside the door and streetcar and subway stops are only a couple blocks away. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. It was our first time in San Francisco and we'll definitely stay here on our next visit.

What a marvelous experience. I traveled to San Francisco with my 83 year old mother in May 08. The city is perfect for any age visitor. Beleive it or not the weather was fantastic! We happened to be there at the time of a heat wave 85 - 90 degrees everyday for five consecutive days. Stayed at the Hotel 480 near Union Square. I never thought a four day stay in a hotel room could be as enjoyable as this. We booked a junior suite - for the extra space. The room more than met our expectations. It was spacious with a beautiful view of the city. But to the city -charming, classy, eclectic, romantic, and definitely easy to navigate. Many modes of public transportation from the cable cars to trolleys to buses. Of course cabs are available but public transportation offers a real taste of the city. Be sure to visit the Ferry building (offers service to Sausalito - the beauty of Sausalito will blow your mind) and a farmers market on weekends, the Presidio, Fishermans Wharf and Pier 39 to see the seals bask in the sun, Haight Ashbury (a real kick). If time permits spend a day in Napa Valley - Sterling Vinyards offers a tram ride and wine tasting for $20 - good deal. "Stinking Rose" is a great restaurant in North Beach section of SF. Great Italian food. This was well worth the cross-country flight as we are east coast residents. ENJOY!
