Handlery Union Square Hotel>>
We decided to book the same hotel we stayed in in 1999 because of the loation. The double room we got this time was a bit shabby, the AC did not work properly but nights were cool in late September and early October so we didn't complain. The room on the 7th floor with windows above the pool area meant that it was pretty quiet too. The bathroom was clean and OK, beds big as usually in the US. The reception was fast, polite both when checking in and when leaving. We had all our breakfasts at the Daily Inn restaurant, the breakfast menu was actually quite satisfactory as we favor a lot of fruits in the morning. All in all we can recommend Handlery as a priceworthy alternative in downtown San Francisco but rooms need refurbishment -maybe this process has already started?

I just came back from San Francisco for Christmas and had a great time. Alongside New York City, it's probably one of the best holiday destinations in the country. You can also find a bevy of great hotels in and near Union Square. And there's no site I'd rather behold than that iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
