We loved the history of the Handlery and its right smack bang in the best place in San Francisco Union Square .
The room we had 361 overlooked a large open area ovelooking the pool . We felt we were a million miles away from the noise and people in Union Sq and it reminded us of Hotels in Spain that have similar areas .
Room 361 was large with a outside balcony , the King sized bed was VERY comfortable and was one of the many highlights of our stay at the Handlery . To get to our room was a bit of a mission but well worth the walk .
The check in staff and Bell Boys were very helpful particulary as we tried to get a cab at 5.30pm on Sat the 13th of December and it was freezing cold and beldam outside with everone trying to do there Xmas shopping .
We paid $300 for 2 nights including taxes and we felt we got a bargain compared to staying at the bigger name hotels . The Handlery doesnt have all the frills of the St Regis or the Drake but the rooms were superb and met our needs to a tee.
Its only a short 5 minute walk to the Bart station at Powell St ($5.35 to SFO Intl Airport) and 20 seconds to Union Sq . Lots of bars in Geary St and Farrell St to go to along with shoppping in Union Sq and the Cable Car .
Highly recommend the Handlery for a reasonably priced hotel in the heart of Union Sq and located close to all the amenities San Fran has to offer .
