As with all the downtown hotels, the Handlery really sticks it to guests during "Oracle Openworld" week. Minimum nights stays and overspriced rooms. When not during a convention, the Handlery is moderately priced and is in a great location. The bar / restaurant is also a rip-off with their drink (wine) prces and limited menu.
If you stay anytime there's no Moscone event and eat at any of the great restaurants nearby you'll be quite pleased with the location, rooms and staff. Just avoid the place during Oracle Openworld. I really wish they would move Openworld to Las Vagas or Orlando so more people could afford to attend.
