Handlery Union Square Hotel

City center. Full range of amenities nearby. Good.

The location is excellent, right in the city center. The front desk staff were very friendly and checked me in quickly. The room was clean and comfortable. The only issue was the air freshener they used; it smelled strongly of 'luosifen' (snail noodle soup), which was a bit overwhelming. Everything else was great.

My Tesla charged overnight at the Union Square parking garage, about 100 meters from the hotel, which was very convenient as the hotel's own parking lot didn't have chargers and was more expensive. The hotel is across from the Westin and next to the Hilton, offering great value for money. No breakfast though.

The location is super convenient, right across from Union Square. The room isn't huge but it's enough, though the central AC is old and only goes up to 68°F. Late February in SF is quite cold, and I ended up catching a cold. I had to wear a light down jacket and pile on blankets. The staff were all very polite, and luggage storage was free. Housekeeping cleaned the room daily. Heading east from the hotel, the main cable car line is easily accessible. I stayed for five days, using two lines back and forth, and bought two 3-day Muni passes. It served as both my commute and a way to explore all the attractions along the way. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. There are far fewer homeless people to the east of the hotel; I wouldn't recommend heading west. Overall, the value for money in this area is quite high!
