The hotel is in a decent location near Union Square, making it convenient for exploring. However, the cleanliness left much to be desired, and the overall service was underwhelming as staff were often unhelpful. Given the price, the value for money doesn't seem to match the conditions of the hotel, which felt more like a budget option than expected.

The hotel offers clean and well-maintained rooms that suit budget travelers, but the overall experience was marred by noise and questionable service. While it's close to downtown which is a plus, the staff's lack of availability and promised refunds being withheld left a lot to be desired. However, it's decent if you're just looking for a place to crash for a night or two.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is great, just a short walk to many restaurants and downtown, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms were clean, but the building itself felt a bit dated and had a strange scent. The service was minimal, and the street noise was quite bothersome at times, especially being in the city. If you're looking for a budget option near the action, it might work, but I wouldn't call it a gem.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to Union Square, which is super convenient for shopping and business. However, the noise level was quite high, and the service left much to be desired. The elevator situation and cleanliness also detracted from my overall enjoyment. If you're going for just a budget stay, keep expectations low.
