Lonely Planet "Like an old-fashioned pensione, the Golden Gate has kindly owners and simple rooms with mismatched furniture." Full review
Gayot "This 1913 Edwardian hotel near Union Square is full of century-old nostalgia, such as claw-foot tubs, a bird cage elevator and antique furniture."
BlackBook "Hosts John and Renate run the friendliest hotel in town (more of a B&B really): a 4-story 1913 Edwardian charmer that’s bedecked with antiques, wicker and old photographs."
Oyster Budget

Rough Guide "This groundbreaking hotel is a leader in energy-efficient environmental design... the hotel has much going for it, including a full slate of electronics and organic bath products in each room."
Michelin Guide "This eco-chic boutique hotel brings a much-needed dose of oxygen to the hustle and bustle of downtown."
Frommer's "Going green doesn't mean you have to cut back on comfort... Egyptian cotton linen on the king-size bed, real feather down in the pillows, Aveda bath products, and plush spa-style robes in the closet." Full review
Concierge "Best of all, this Union Square hotel saves not only the planet but also your wallet."
Fodor's "Feel virtuous and eco-friendly by staying at the first San Francisco hotel built to environmentally stringent LEED specifications." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Set in San Francisco’s tiny, unofficial French Quarter, the Orchard Garden feels exactly like a spiffy little Left Bank hotel—one that’s LEED certified." Full review
Time Out "Opened in 2007, the Orchard Garden was only the fourth hotel in the world to win LEED... certification, meaning it was designed according to strict environmental standards." Full review
Star Service "This well-situated hotel is in the middle of the so-called French Quarter and just a few doors from the carved Foo dogs guarding Chinatown's ornate dragon gate; Union Square is a four-block walk." Full review
