I didn't want to be here!
OK, my experiences are not exactly normal of the hotels guests but here goes... i actually booked at the Adelaide Hostel 2 blocks away but becuase their private rooms were full I was given a room here instead. At first I was like WOOP WOOP! hotel at a hostel price, but after that it kind of sucked. The room was good, small, but fine for 1 person (would be a bit tight for 2) It was clean and modern and well decorated. My room was next to the noisy elevator but I guess that was just bad luck. The free breakfast was a bit lame, poor quality and choice, worse than most hostels i have stayed at. The staff were not especially friendly or helpful, they were not especially unfriendly or unhelpful either, it just felt like they were doing the bare minimum possible to get through the day. The location is good if you want to be near Union Square, but to be honest most the stuff going on is on the shore, so in future I would book down there. I certainly wouldn't pay hotel prices to stay here, and it lacked any kind of atmosphere that a hostel has. Overall I didn't like it a whole lot.
