San Francisco's Hotel Union Square just finished an "extensive modern makeover" this April, incorporating brick walls, mosaic murals and custom furnishings, like platform beds, into its 131-room hotel. Seems it may have needed the upgrade.

One guest who stayed as recently as March said "never again" about his stay, thanks to a small room and air-conditioner that didn't work, two of the more common complaints among other guests. But come April, that had changed--at least according to the sole reviewer who stayed at the hotel since the start of its renovation: "Our room on the fifth floor was plenty big enough for four of us," said one, who did note that the clan was used to smaller European rooms.

Renovated or not, guests do seem to enjoy the pleasant staff (that counts for something doesn't it?) and Hotel Union Square's central location. Also, the hotel is part of Personality Hotels so you know free WiFi is guaranteed.
