Stanford Court San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"great"

Handlery Union Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the hotel. The location was perfect and right at the heart of union square. Staff were friendly and rooms were very clean. My only suggestion is for brighter lights for the hallways, the low dim lights made you feel a bit uncomfortable and gave an eerie feeling. Overall, we still recommend this hotel 😊"
