Central location, good price, but small rooms that can get a bit warm
This is an older hotel, which means that it has a combination of "charm" and "kind of worn out." Great location; right on Union Square (although that comes with a fair amount of traffic and trumpet noise (really)), fairly easy to get to everything. The rooms are pretty small and don't have air conditioning, which leads them to get kind of toasty during the summer (the temps were in the lower 70s when we were there, but the room got a bit warm for my liking). The price was the main reason we stayed here: we could get two rooms for our family (two older teenagers and Mom and Dad) without going completely broke. Restaurant had decent food, but slow service. Front desk could have been more helpful at times (we were running REALLY late for our return flight and called ahead to have our bags retrieved from storage but the front desk wouldn't do it until we physically showed up with the claim ticket--that was frustrating). Don't know if we'd stay here again; it would depend on price and availability of other hotels.
