Courtyard By Marriott San Francisco Downtown/Van Ness Ave - A fully modernized historic San Francisco hotel with Mel's Kitchen diner and downtown accessibility

Located at the intersection of Van Ness and Geary Street, this fully remodeled San Francisco hotel retains its historic character while featuring modern amenities. The Courtyard By Marriott offers rooms and suites equipped with flat-screen TVs, glass-top work desks, mini-fridges, and in-room safes, plus beautifully designed bathrooms with walk-in showers. Mel's Kitchen, a modern diner off the lobby, serves classic American fare, craft beers, and local wines for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The property includes a 24-hour fitness center with cardio equipment and free weights, complimentary wireless internet, and a communal living room. A private boardroom accommodates business meetings and intimate events. The Courtyard By Marriott stands 0.5 miles from San Francisco City Hall and Union Square, with the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, Symphony, and Regency Ballroom nearby. Popular attractions like Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf are within 1.5 miles.

Pros

Guest service agents available 24 hours for transportation arrangements and boarding pass printing

Multiple dining options within 984.3 ft, including Tommy's Joynt and various ethnic restaurants

Accessible facilities throughout, including entrance, restaurants, and meeting spaces

Four languages spoken by staff: English, Spanish, Filipino, and Romanian

Cons

1 mile from major tourist attractions like Ghirardelli Square

Limited on-site parking facilities

“This downtown hotel marries historical charm with updated interiors, a combination that makes it a solid choice in a vibrant area. The on-site Mel's Kitchen, with discounts for guests, is more than just a convenience-it's a destination. While its central location puts you close to San Francisco's main attractions and public transit, the secure parking adds a layer of ease for those who drive.”
