Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed the stay here! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The retro vibe was fun, beds comfy and the sauna was a wonderful bonus! Lots of restaurants they partner with and the location is excellent. Easy walk from the BART and very close to the action. Would definitely stay here again as a home base for exploring the city!"
