MODERATE Chancellor Hotel Across the str eet from Saks Fifth Avenue and less than a block from Union Square, the Chancellor, built in 1914, is a typical old-time S an Francisco hotel. The rooms are small and the furnishings ar e very basic, although in some r ooms the back wall is painted in an unusually bright hue. B ut the prime location makes this place worth looking into, as do nice touches such as coffee, apples, and cookies at the reception desk; a pleasant staff; free local calls; and a pillow menu with selections such as firm, soft, hypoallergenic, down, and even snore-reducing (useful when sharing rooms). Rooms come with one queen-siz e bed or two twin beds, and inter connecting rooms are available. The hotel has two suites, each with a double bed and pullout sofa. F rom
