"I had a great staying at this hotel. The staff were friendly, and very helpful. The front desk gentlemen made a great suggestion to get their breakfast and snack buffet. That was so worth it, and the food and snack were fresh and pretty tasty. I would be coming back to this hotel."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

Handlery Union Square Hotel

8/10 Good
"Very clean hotel with a great location right near Union Square. The good: Clean, location, friendly staff. The bad: Parking fee is expensive (use the parking garage less than a block away instead), some of the rooms are pretty small, the pool is small, and the sauna requires a reservation. The meh: rooms are "outdated" (I liked it, but some people prefer more modern fixtures), and there seems to be quirky rules for accessing certain amenities (see sauna above). Overall: If its reasonably priced compared to other hotels nearby, I think this one is a safe bet."
