Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Handlery Union Square Hotel enjoys a superb location right in the heart of Union Square, making it easy to access shopping, dining, and transportation, including the cable car that stops nearby. Many appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring balconies overlooking the pool, and amenities like coffee makers and safes. While the hotel is acknowledged as a more vintage establishment, with some guests noting the need for updates, its proximity to attractions like Trader Joe's and Target, both within a 10-minute walk, adds to its appeal. Some have mentioned that the pool appeared smaller than expected.

Mixed feelings about my stay

musky smell
The room had a noticeable musky smell. It was REALLY unpleasant. The air felt stale. It seemed the room had not been properly aired out. reaching the parking garage from my room involved two flights of stairs. This.

I had a premier king room. It was spacious with a sitting area plus balcony chairs. The courtyard around the pool was quiet. It was a nice spot to relax for a few hours. The setting offered nice tables and loungers.
