Old world in need of a lift

I think I expected more having seen the photos and reviews. Hotel is central just off Union Square but it is tired. My room was big but must have been an older room - bath and bathroom were not great. Post Room Bar was nice. Staff very friendly.

The hotel was very good, located in an excellent spot right by Union Square. It was quite comfortable and had tasty breakfastsa a”la carte
Katarzyna, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

I like the old timey feel. My only complaint is the coffee machine I followed the instructions and it just kept taking the little pods away from me so we were unable to either retrieve the coffee pods. The A/C was fine, it wasn’t kicking in well but apart from that it was a good stay overall! I would stay again.
Frank, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Solid union square pick

Bed was super comfortable. Good location and union square has cleaned up its act. Room updates were nice. Wish shower had more pressure and line at the front desk was always long; house keeping skipped us one day and one morning we woke up early to house keepers calling to each other down the hall, but otherwise the stay was great. Good cocktails in the bar. Would stay again
