Pay a little more and get somewhere better
Quite a few things in this hotel add up to an unpleasant experience. The elevator is a slow creaky old thing and it's often quicker to get the stairs. The door to our room could be moved quite a bit when locked which makes your wonder how secure it is. The rooms are small and very stuffy. It wasn't a good idea to open our window as an air vent below the window piped in food smells from a next door restaurant. The bed is poor quality too. The only positive was the location, pretty much next to Union square, which also makes it very noisy. My advice would be to pay a bit more and get somewhere better as there are plenty of hotels to choose from.
