Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property is in a great location and inline photos looked pretty good but the hotel was disgusting. As soon as we got off the elevator the hallways smelled like old urine and the room although was very tidy, it smelled and felt so dirty. Was like putting lipstick on a pig. We immediately cancelled our reservation and booking a new hotel.

Front desk during weekdays are rude and impolite.

Front desk were rude and they lied to me when i adked if i could get an early visit. They said sure come back in an hour. I came back an hour and a half later. They didnt have a room for me available for me at the moment, in which i was okay with, but it was the way he said it to me. And he kept cutting me off and interupting me. The other employee that told me to come back in an hour basically denied that he even said that to me. Also i asked for a double room. I got a tiny, dark little room.

Refund dor very sorry room

Upon arrival, our room was uncomfortable and had an unpleasant odor. The bathroom was extremely dirty, as shown in the photos. They offered us a suite to compensate for the issue for one night, but it wasn't very good either. After the room service cleaned, we found more dirt hidden behind the toilet. I've never experienced such poor service. We hope Hotels.com will help us resolve this issue, as we moved to the Hilton the following day, based on the promise of a refund that never materialized. We are still waiting for the refund for the nights we didn't stay there, and to our surprise, another charge appeared.

Loved the place, it feels old a bit. There was a lot of noise coming from electric outlets and the ceiling of our room. We still enjoyed our stay but a bit expensive for it.

Overall, the stay was OK. It was a more cost effective hotel than many others nearby. However, this hotel had a highly dysfunctional staff. There were several arguments via staff while I was there. It seemed to me that the hotel management were promoting a particular manager that did not deserve to be promoted and it made the other staff resentful. The hotel is in a really good location. The rooms were basic but mostly clean. The HVAC controls were terrible which made the stay more irritating than it should have been. With a little bit of investment, the hotel could be much better.

Nosey housekeeper

It's a really old hotel, when you enter it has an amazing ambiance. Long walk from valet parking to check-in desk and the elevator is not an elevator its a wheel chair lift so be prepared if you have a lot of bags. Ultimately, if you want to be in the middle of everything your in the right spot. One thing is house keeping has a problem with walking in your room without knocking. She just walked in our room and our friends room in the morning without knocking, just ipens the door and says "sorry".. no good! Other than that I recommend.

Nice SF hotel, reasonable price, convenient locati

Well-appointed room with minifridge, toiletries, plenty of towels, sitting area and a comfortable bed. The ceiling over the bathroom vanity was damaged and peeling and we could hear the people talking (very early morning) in the adjoining room. Some better insulation and upkeep is advised.

Great location, polite service, and spacious rooms

Fantastic stay at Handlery Union Square, I have stayed at this hotel three other times and I receive consistent, great service, always polite, accommodating, and attentive service. The rooms are spacious some have floor to ceiling windows that overlook the city. Beds are comfortable, modern decor, and fast elevators. The location is prime and safe with a lot of restaurant options you can walk to and shopping. Overall, I would highly recommend and will be back with my family.
