The hotel

Just minutes from Union Square and the Downtown district’s endless shopping and dining options, this remodelled historic hotel is in a busy city spot. It's great for getting your sightseeing fix and, of course a bit of retail therapy.

Rooms were nice. But my main concern was the area. I was travelling with two teenagers and they felt frightened by the group who congregated opposite the hotel shouting and screaming and obviously on drugs. When we left there was a homeless man lying on the floor by the entrance. I know there is a big homeless issue in the city which is not this… Read more

Room was compact and clean. The staff was great. Two issues: 1. The area is very noisy all hours and felt unsafe with rampant illegal drug use. 2. Doesn’t seem to be full time security which this hotel absolutely needs given the location. Someone tried to enter my room midnight one night

Extremely loud room—people screaming outside and loud music. No earplugs. Tried to shorten my reservation and got ghosted by support. Ended up staying elsewhere and unable to get a refund. Support copied and pasted responses. WiFi in the room is also bad. Do not recommend

This hotel has been under new ownership for about a month now, and I’ve been very pleased with the experience. Rooms are clean and well-equipped (iron and board, blackout curtains, shampoo/conditioner/soap are Davine’s) - no perceptible difference between it and a Hilton. Lobby is nicely designed, location excellent. Yes it’s near Union Square,… Read more
This hotel has been under new ownership for about a month now, and I’ve been very pleased with the experience. Rooms are clean and well-equipped (iron and board, blackout curtains, shampoo/conditioner/soap are Davine’s) - no perceptible difference between it and a Hilton. Lobby is nicely designed, location excellent. Yes it’s near Union Square, so there is street noise and people living on the street - that comes with the neighborhood - but the room even has a sound machine for light sleepers. Entry to hotel and room are by code, as there isn’t always someone at the front desk - but often there is. Would definitely stay here again. Read less
