Handlery Union Square Hotel
"Hotel is centrally located with plenty of food and activities options around. Rooms are specious and well maintained. We did see some garbage left between the bed and nightstand, so it was probably not cleaned very well. Coffee and water in the room was much appreciated. Outdoor pool looked lovely ..."

Fairmont San Francisco
"Worth every penny to stay in this classic SF hotel that happened to be a stone’s throw from a concert we attended at The Masonic. The staff are particularly attentive and helpful. Even the eye-watering cost for valet parking didn’t really sting in this neighborhood."
