Hotel Nikko San Francisco

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

8/10 Good
"Staff very helpful and friendly. Gym is well equipped. Location on the edge of Tenderloin so careful which block you turn on. Hiccups with my keys needing to be reprogrammed twice to access the Club Lounge and despite booking the extra person and paying the premium for my suite, an extra bed was not set up as there was a King in the bedroom and no sofa bed. I had to request it."

"The room would get very hot and humid, luckily the weather in San Francisco is very nice and we were able to open the windows. The main issue was that there were a lack of outlets in the room. Staff was very nice and helpful."

10/10 Excellent
"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 The meh: rooms are "outdated" (I liked it, but some people prefer more modern fixtures), and there seems to be quirky rules for accessing certain amenities (see sauna above).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."
