Handlery Union Square

If you want to stay downtown the Handlery Union Square Hotel is a great pick. I traveled with my sister and she thought it was the nicest hotel she had ever stayed in. The service at the hotel was amazing. We were up-graded to a larger room with out making a request and the staff were friendly and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again. The location was also good. Close to the cable cars, BART, shopping, good restaurants and the Chinatown Gateway. I have stayed in San Francisco five times previous to this trip and have always stayed at Fisherman's Wharf but I definitely prefer the amenities at this downtown location.

The last time we stayed at the Handlery was for our honeymoon in 1992. For that stay we were upgraded to a suite and had a great time! This time around we had our two kids [11 and 6] with us and stayed in a room with two double beds - it was perfect for our needs. Convenient to public transport, close to shops, food outlets etc. The staff were fantastically helpful when we pulled up out the front in our hire car at 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon and unloaded all our stuff. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable, would have no hesitation in staying there next time in SF. The lift is a little dodgy - but hey we could all do with a bit more taking the stairs!!! Love this place.

Great location, shopping, restraunt

very convenient location as it's at the heart of Union Square, walking distance to all shops and restaurants. The hotel staffs were extremely attentive and I was pleasantly surprised by an offer to upgrade my room.

Third time I've stayed here and it has been excellent every time. Couldn't ask for a better location. Breakfast not included in the room price (at least, not on the occasions I've booked) but a great selection available at fairly reasonable prices in the adjacent Daily Grill. (You could wander and find other options nearby, too, no doubt.) If you're a customer, the Daily Grill offers free wireless internet too.

The hotel is very well located, in the core of Union Square. The backside of this location is the large amount of homeless people asking for money on the road. For the rest the hotel is in a very good position for visiting san francisco and for conferences at Moscone center. The room was big and clean, we didn't have any problem with the hotel and the staff. Recommended!

The room was quite nice; the service quite good. They were doing some work nearby so nap time was interrupted with drilling and pounding. Getting to the room was a bit serpentine but manageable.

Great hotel. Staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Very clean room. No complaints except the percussion player out on the street playing way to late.

The hotel is in the perfect location! Staff were excellent! Our room was very clean and nice but small with not a great view - others we were with had better views. We went with a group for the Bay to Breakers race and the hotel held our luggage until we could pick it up later - very accomodating and excellent bar/restuarant downstairs! Short taxi ride to the Wharf! We look forward to staying again and taking in the sites and food all around the hotel.

Bay to Breakers weekend! Great location for walking to the race and to accessing public transportation. Loved the fact that the room included a refrigerator for use (not to sell over-priced items).
