"Great hotel in the city."
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5

The front desk people were friendly and efficient. The concierge was patient and very helpful to me and to other parties, as I observed. The room in the "historic" tower was clean and very quiet (it did not face the street). It had everything we needed. It was great that we could preorder a delicious continental+ breakfast. Parking was easily accessible and there was no extra charge to take the car in and out of their garage. And the cost of staying at this hotel was surprisingly quite reasonable. I would definitely stay here again.

"Very good central SF hotel with great service."

We loved staying at the Handlery. Our room was on the same floor as the pool and it was very nice to have a swim. Our premier room has two queen beds. We were upgraded from two full double beds. The cleaning staff does a great job cleaning daily. Hot water was good. The room was cool enough. You can tell that even premier room is dated but it is quite larger than we expected. The bathroom is in good condition and a decent size. The reservations lady was super nice. She called me back when someone cancelled on her premier room and I wasn’t expecting that. The location is perfect. You can use the O’ Farell St exit when you leave the premier building. Just take the elevator to the garage. This hotel is an excellent value.
