Handlery Union Square Hotel
Our two rooms were right by the pool which we thought was great, but it turns out the pool is a major walkway to get from one wing to the other. We constantly had peopled walking by our glass doors with luggage talking loudly at all hours. The concierge was extremely rude. Get advice from the front ...

Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown
Rooms are spacious, clean, and location couldn’t be better. The attitude and less than friendly attitude of the gentleman during check in was less than pleasant, but tolerable for a one night stay.
