The location is perfect. It's clean and well-maintained, but the building is old, which makes it extremely noisy. You can hear other rooms' doors slamming, and people walking in the hallways wake you up at night.

A great Hotel

We loved our stay at the Handlery San Francisco. the location was excellent, right in Union Square, and the room was clean. The style of the hotel is elegant from the 20's I would guess, with updating, of course.

Location is ideal for shopping luxury brands. Hotel itself is dated but in good shape. Rooms are small. The ambiance is a little eerie in the night time. But what is expected of a building from the early 1900s.
