Courtyard by Marriott San Francisco Downtown/Van Ness Ave.

Hidden gem! Sure the area can be a little sketchy and the walls are thin however the staff is 11/10, and everything is new and clean. As a woman traveling alone, I always felt safe. The neighborhood is quite convenient: movie theater next door, Starbucks across the street, transit outside the door. The lobby is so charming and cozy. Well equipped for coworking or lounging while waiting for a flight. The lobby market is open 24/7 and the attached diner has very convenient hours. This is one of my main stays for business travel. Exceptional value and very enjoyable.

Good location on Van Ness... but a block away from some pretty rough areas. Rooms are small, but well designed. Limited onsite parking. About $50 a nite for parking. Great food across the street if you like authentic Hauf Bras

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable stay and excellent service at Courtyard by Marriott I had a wonderful stay at Courtyard by Marriott, and I’m happy to give it 5 stars. The room was comfortable, clean, and very spacious, making it easy to relax and feel at home. The bathroom was also very nice—well maintained and thoughtfully set up, which added to the overall comfort of the stay. What truly made the experience stand out was the magnificent service. The staff was professional, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. Because of the combination of comfort, space, cleanliness, and outstanding customer service, Courtyard by Marriott fully earned my 5-star rating. I would gladly stay here again and recommend it to others.

I found this hotel when my son was admitted to hospital and I was so thankful to have found such a great, clean and safe hotel. The staff was all so extremely helpful and understanding! A+++

The front desk here was the most professional, empathetic and accommodating individuals I've met in hotels yet. I may spell the names incorrectly, but Muskan, Prayank, and the gentleman who wore a mask were especially helpful. They definitely elevate the Marriott brand, which I felt was an impossible feat due to how amazing it already was/is. Thank you, and the remaining staff for the highly restful and rejuvenating nights.

What a great experience! The front desk staff were all very friendly and pleasant. I felt secure and safe throughout my stay, which really matters in San Francisco. My room was spotless on arrival, and housekeeping kept it that way every single day. The lobby is beautiful and such a comfortable place to hang out or even get some work done on my laptop—it really adds to the overall experience. I also loved having Mel’s Diner right in the hotel—super convenient for a couple of meals. The washer and dryer onsite were another great perk that made my stay easier. The hotel itself is genuinely beautiful—possibly the nicest Courtyard by Marriott I’ve ever stayed at. As a Marriott Titanium member, I stay at a lot of properties, and I truly think if this hotel upgraded their linens and towels, it could easily fit into the Design Hotels or Autograph Collection portfolio. It really stands out above the rest. From now on, this will be my go-to hotel in San Francisco over the larger Marriott Marquis or the Westin on Market Street. A+ across the board. Thank you for an awesome stay!

The Courtyard by Marriott on Van Ness is the best hotel in San Francisco, offering outstanding value, cleanliness, and décor, along with a staff that consistently provides warm, friendly, and truly exceptional service.

The hotel staff is probably the best staff I’ve seen in a hotel. They are attentive and will treat you very well. Especially M who works on weekends. The hotel rooms are very clean and it is well located.
