Handlery Union Square Hotel

Handlery Union Square Hotel

8/10 Good
"I stay here often when traveling to the city. This was the first time I had stayed in the historic part of the hotel. It was fine, but the walls were thin. Young girls next to us were up all night - I was torn from being irritated and remembering when I was young and carefree. The giggles were priceless; however, at 5am I called to stop the party. I had a wedding to attend to."
