Star Service "At the corner of Mason Street, one block west of Union Square, and six blocks shy of the Bank America Center and the Financial District, this...is in an excellent location for business and pleasure." Full review
Gayot "Despite its size (21 stories and 329 rooms in all), the JW Marriott San Francisco has a decidedly intimate atmosphere amid the bustle of Union Square."
