Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco
Clean and decent rooms. Comfortable beds and bedding. A little dated and basic but good price for location. Windows did not open and air circulation was suboptimal.

Handlery Union Square Hotel
Their room that they give us smells and extinct parking lot is too expensive. They never tell you that before you book in so be careful if you have a truck you’re paying $80 not a good experience to say I recommend.
