The hotel

Just half a block from Union Square, this historic hotel has a classic charm and prides itself on excellent friendly service — after all, its been in the Handlery family for four generations. A great little base, you can cool off in the courtyard pool or hide away in the sauna to help relieve any aching limbs. The casual Daily Grill is a tribute to the bustling downtown grills of the 1930’s — start your day with the locals and a hearty breakfast or pop back later for happy hour cocktails and some wholesome California comfort food.

I returned around 10:30 am and absolutely nothing had been done. I finally had my room changed which launched a bizarre odyssey of traversing the ancient Byzantine hotel corridors and dragging my luggage up stairs due to the tiny and inaccessible. "handicapped" elevator. I passed a couple who were muttering about " this strange hotel." I agree. The final room was much better and also more expensive. I'm bewildered by all the positive reviews; apparently most people had a better experience than I, but I won't be returning. Read less
