Really nice spot right in the heart of Union Square. Super comfortable king size bed, hotel was quiet. Free coffee in the morning and water throughout the day. Very nice gentlemen at the front desk, including Manfred, who is a gem of a man!

The main reason to stay here is for the location. It is just in a great spot right off of Union Square. It is a pretty old hotel, but it definitely makes up for it with the inexpensive rooms. The water temperature fluctuates a little bit, but you can get used to it. If your window is facing the side of another building, it can actually get noisy with the howling wind. The hotel has an awesome water-filling station for your reusable water bottles in the lobby for hotel guests. You can get flavored waters or even waters with electrolytes, vitamins, etc. Other than that, the room is cleaned pretty well. Also, Manfred, at the front desk in the mornings, is very nice.
