Chicago News Stays at the Inn at Union Square

CHICAGO NEWS FEATURES THE INN AT UNION SQUARE IN ARTICLE & VIDEO 

In their latest travel location, Chicago News ventured out to San Francisco, calling it one of the country's "truest gems". In the article, "A Golden Handcuff with a Key Thrown Away" written by Vera Sauchanka, Chicago News details their trip to San Francisco, including their stay at the Inn at Union Square: 

"We knew that while visiting San Francisco we would have to be in the very center of it, so we chose Inn at Union Square, a cozy boutique hotel right in the middle of it all. This 6-story building embodies the definition of history and modernity combined, and while saving all of the attractive boutique elements, including vintage furniture, fireplaces and writing tables, you’ll find a tablet on your nightstand, which you can use for prompt and easy communication with the world around you."

The Chicago News team was very appreciate of the polite and helpful staff and complimentary breakfast, wine and cheese reception, and chocolate chip cookies!
