Great Location
We stayed at the Kensington Park Hotel At Union Square for 3 nights in mid October. The hotel is in a great location, which is why we selected it and based on other reviews. The hotel, overall, has "character", which we enjoyed, but could benefit from some upgrading. The room we had was small, the bath was small as well. There was no fridge or safe, no dresser for storing clothes, no comfortable chair to sit and read other than a small desk/chair. Lighting was very bad, it was difficult to find things in my suitcase. There is no air conditioning. I am *always* freezing, and did not think this would be a problem, but we had over 80 degree weather the first day there and the room was so hot it was uncomfortable. Opening the window let in even more street noise, and with the trolley and construction going on, it was noisy. The windows, even when closed, are not very sound proof, so the noise was a problem even though we were on the 11th floor.
