Great location. We arrived early but were not called to say the room was ready after we had checked in and left our luggage at the hotel. Room good size and had a little swimming pool but we didn’t have time to take advantage as we were too busy with visiting all the attractions

Loved it here. Perfect location that did not break the bank. Liked being able to exit from Geary street or O’farrells. So close to Union square and shopping. And easy to walk to from the train stations (only a few blocks up a slight uphill grade).

Nice stay, good area, some local dining close by, Starbucks on corner, a local coffee and bagel shop very close. The one thing I did not like was they charged me $10 more per night for over sized vehicle. Other than that it was convenient and very fast Valet parking.

The staff was very helpful. I forgot my contact solution and the staff gave me great directions to a drug store and looked up the hours to make sure it was still open. Room was comfortable and clean. Carpet and other decor was a bit outdated but otherwise perfect. Great value!

We really liked the Handlery! It was close to a variety of tourist attractions like the cable cars. And quite easy access to BART and buses. All very walkable. No complaints with the room - clean and very comfortable. We will stay here again with pleasure.

It was exactly what we needed for a night. Reasonable price for the quality of the room and cleanliness. It is a few blocks from the tenderloin so definitely be careful walking at night alone

Great location. Walking distance to many food and drink locations as well as easy walk to Chinatown. Street trolleys right out the door. Super convenient. Walked from the Powell BART station.
