| lov2sail's Full Review: Handlery Union Square Hotel |
This hotel was recommended for family travel and there were lots of families with young kids. We were one of them. I'm not saying that this wouldn't be an ideal location for a honeymoon or romantic weekend, but there is a lot that this hotel offers to families and I was thrilled to have read this on a website. It's a great hotel for everyone.
We requested the family package on the club floor. Our room was huge!!! Quite a surprise from all the other hotels that I've stayed in in S.F. We drove from Colorado to S.F., and the package included FREE valet parking with in and out service. Quite a deal! Have you seen the cost of parking in S.F.?
Our mission was to Shop and sightsee. My husband had a seminar at the Mark Hopkins and the Union Square location was perfect for all of us. We had a great time going to ALL the retail stores and had an easy time walking to China Town and heading down to the wharf on the Cable car.
We chose not to go with the breakfast package with all the reviews about the restaurant and instead went to Lefty's. The concierge even gave us some coupons for Free orange juice.
Everyone at the hotel was pleasant and professional. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. We had a room that faced the pool (we requested one before our arrival after all the noise complaints we read...and even confirmed our request) and NEVER heard any street noise or pool action. We did have to walk quite far to get to the room...but we just considered it part of the journey.
We took taxis a couple of times and it was never a huge expense to get to parts of town that we didn't want to walk to. We always felt safe and never had a problem with any of the locals. It was an amazing experience and the Handlery Union Square made it very easy for us!
