Our take
My take: the Cartwright is a history-and-location pick. A three-minute walk from Union Square lets you do shopping, dining and sights without relying on transport, and the fireplace lobby and warm dark-wood rooms give it real character. The 7.9 score across 793 reviews suggests a good-not-flawless stay, so I would expect older-building quirks. There is no pool or spa, so look elsewhere if facilities matter most.
- Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to Union Square for easy access to shopping and dining.
- Utilize the business centre if you need to stay connected or print travel documents during your stay.
- Enjoy a quiet moment by the fireplace in the lobby, especially on cooler San Francisco evenings.
