Location is fantastic. The room was clean but dated. The sinks are far from standard, about 1-2 feet shorter than they should be. Very odd to have a sing reach maybe mid thigh (I’m 6’). Room was quite warm despite it being cool outside because the heater puts a great deal of heat into the closet which poured through the door. Window opened only 6” but cooled it enough for this time of year. Breakfast is coffee and tea (in 10oz cups) and individually packaged madeleine cookies. There is an Elks lodge and a theater in the building.

The shower water was cold and I repeatedly told the front desk. They told me the maintenance was going to fix it, but they never did. The lady doing the night shift at the front desk was rude, just telling me that there was nothing she could do. I will definitely avoid this hotel in the future.

There was no air conditioning and the room was warm and very stuffy. There was a ceiling fan but it was still very warm and we traveled in January. The rooms were also very tight/small and close together.

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.
