Good but dated

The Handlery is a good but somewhat dated hotel that's well-situated for exploring San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. Located a stone's throw away from Union Square the hotel is right in the heart of the city and within easy walking distance of numerous transit options. Check-was straightforward and the staff were helpful. The premier room I received was roomy and comfortable enough but the décor and overall feel was dated. The basics were good but other amenities were subpar. The wifi was slow and unreliable, the power outlets would cut out if you used a high-power USB-C charger, and the in-room safe was broken. The hotel pool was heated decently but was small. A nicely-equipped fitness center was on the premises as an alternative exercise option. Although the hotel itself lacks a restaurant numerous food options were in easy reach. As for the immediate neighborhood, it seemed to avoid the worst of SF's homeless and druggy situation but not entirely, so best not to just let your guard down. Taking this all together made the Handlery an okay place to stay but just okay. Serviceable rather than superb.

Our stay at the Handlery Union Station was great. It's walkable to various destinations. Also, an easy location to request rideshare. The room was clean, with the pirmary necessities to make your stay comfortable. I'd stay here again.

The location is absolutely unbeatable – you're literally steps away from Union Square's shopping, theaters, and cable cars and you can walk nearly every must to see places at most 30-40 minutes. The room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet for being in the heart of the city. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. For a classic San Francisco experience with fantastic value, I highly recommend this hotel.

I called 3 times before arrival to request a lower level room and was told three times that I would receive one however when we arrived My options were 5th or 3rd floor. Also the hotel has dark and creepy hallways.
