"Terrible! Dialup would be a better option than the “guest” wifi. Very outdated rooms, including the window unit ac/heater directly from the 80’s. The provided breakfast is a joke. It’s a wide selection of TOAST. Hotel does not provide water to drink, even with breakfast. Instead, they kindly point you to the vending machine. To top it all off, you are also charged an additional parking fee of $12...for what?! Get your $’s worth and stay at the holiday inn next door. "
"Bathroom smell so musty that I must keep it closed at all time. I’d spend as little time as possible in there. Perhaps main floor rooms are used more Often may not smell like the 2nd floor bathroom. They renovated the motel to be an inn, it’s decent but the carpet was kind of dirty when I walked in. Very strong ordor of odor spray that was def a turn off. 2 Chinese, Vietnamese and pizza across the street was def plus. However I won’t stay there again cause I prefer a nicer name brand hotel. Thus...
"We we not even sure we had gotten the right room. The beds were not queen size like in the reservation. 1 made a terrible amount of noise when you moved around on it. The cleanliness was questionable. The pool had very limited hours but looked clean. Overall a NO frills place."

"Stay in the Main Street of San Francisco. It was a walkable distance for the shopping area. We enjoyed the sauna that you had to pre book and have all too yourselves. The beds were super comfy and were very happy with our stay."
A verified traveller stayed at Handlery Union Square Hotel
"The hotel was beautiful and the room was comfortable. The view could have been nicer, but we were only on the 5th floor inside a major city so what more could I expect, really? Unfortunately, we didn't get to use any of the amenities or facilities, but based on what I saw, I'm sure they would have been equally nice.
The Parking Fee was absolutely ridiculous, but I don't blame the hotel for that - parking inside major cities has always been ludicrously overpriced for absolutely no reason other than to gouge out-of-towners. It would have been nice if parking was included in the price of the room - as it has been at other places I have stayed in San Francisco."
A verified traveller stayed at San Francisco Marriott Marquis
"I stayed here for a long weekend of sightseeing and it worked out perfectly. The restaurant on site is great, and staff was attentive and efficient. There is a dedicated ride share pick up location just outside of the hotel, which was convenient, but it is super easy to walk and utilize public transit from here as well. Great value overall and would highly recommend. "
