Top Portola Hotel Reviews

Stanford Court San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Stuff very helpful and location was perfect for our trip."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is located in a great location, 1/2 block from Union square 2 blocks from cable car terminal and 1 and 1/2 blocks from John’s grill. Great price for the location. Rooms were clean with daily maid service. I was in town to visit my son so I was not interested in bars restaurants and other amenities except I was interested in a fitness room which they provided but not the other two. Hotel is a bit dated but clean and the staff was friendly and assisted me with obtaining on line tickets to a USF home men’s basketball game. A solid facility but not a four or five star one but a good one for the price and location"
