Handlery Union Square Hotel
The room was clean. The service was excellent. Our room was a little cold. We called guests service and a technician was sent to our room within minutes. We were offered a portable heater and that took care of the problem.

YOTEL San Francisco
Room was tiny. Nice to have a towel warmer, but accessible from shower so towel got cold before it could be used.
