Handlery Union Square Hotel

Handlery Union Square Hotel

8/10 Good
"Very clean hotel with a great location right near Union Square. The good: Clean, location, friendly staff. The bad: Parking fee is expensive (use the parking garage less than a block away instead), some of the rooms are pretty small, the pool is small, and the sauna requires a reservation. The meh: rooms are "outdated" (I liked it, but some people prefer more modern fixtures), and there seems to be quirky rules for accessing certain amenities (see sauna above). Overall: If its reasonably priced compared to other hotels nearby, I think this one is a safe bet."

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

10/10 Excellent
"My partner and I enjoyed our stay at Hotel Nikko. Overall, it was a 4-4.5/5 star experience. The property was well maintained and the rooms were overall quite nice. The 1st floor japanese restaurant was nice- we enjoyed the small plates they offered. The hotel lobby on the first floor was nice as well. The 5th floor sauna, workout room and pool/spa area are definite highlights! A few things: the elevators can be a bit confusing to use at first (the card tapping function on the call button is unintuitive), and they can be a bit of a lengthy wait. Also, they charge a $39 daily amenity fee (tax plus fees brings it to $45/day)- so be advised this is not a budget friendly hotel by any means. In all, this was a nice place to stay in downtown SF. Would stay here again in the future should other options prover costlier."
