Better places to stay
We stayed here for 4 nights but asked to move rooms after the first night. I had emailed months previously asking for a quiet room at the top/back of the hotel and received a reply saying that this was fine. On arriving we were disappointed to find that we had been put on the first floor next to the main entrance to the hotel. This was very noisy and we didn't sleep well - traffic/street noise, people coming in and out and the hotel itself is very old and creaky with thin walls. They were able to move us for our 3rd and 4th nights to a quieter, larger room which was a bit better. The staff were great but the hotel isn't. I would stay elsewhere if visiting again. Although this place is quite central (5min walk to Union Square), there are nicer areas to stay in the city.
It should also be noted that not all rooms have a bath tub even though this is advertised. Our second room did have a bath tub but with no plug..
