This hotel was a little underwhelming to look at (clean however) but the staff more than made up for this, they were so friendly helpful and made me feel very welcome. They have a gathering at 5pm for an hour with complementary wine which gives the opportunity to meet lots of other guests staying at the hotel and lots of... More

Our new year's eve celebration was hampered by our stay at this hotel. The website does not accurately depict anything in this hotel. The hallways smelled, yuck. The bathroom was grungy with disgusting window sills. Yes, it's an old property and, yes, the location is ideal. But, no, never again. More

I was greeted in a friendly manner and check was smooth with my room ready even though I arrived early. I was helped to the room and all ammenities explained. The room was... More

We stayed here for one night and checked in very late due to flight delays. The man at the desk was not all that friendly, and when I turned to see who was entering the lobby (it was nearly 1am) he abruptly asked what was wron, and if I was scared. I said I was not, and I was only... More

After reading the reviews about how small the rooms were at Hotel Union Square on Trip Advisor, I must say I was feeling disappointed with my choice of hotel. However..... On arrival, we were offered an up grade for $40 a night. The receptionist stated the difference in square footage which meant nothing to me but we decided to go... More

I stayed here when I needed a last minute hotel room near Union Square and all the other ones were sold out. They advertise a 'no frills' basic room, and they mean it when they say it. The room was tiny! The bed and bathroom were actually nice though, and the room was very clean. It's great that they are... More

Just spent a week at this fine hotel. Service was wonderful and felt like a smaller hotel. Views are limited as is small narrow hotel built 1913. We were in penthouse and had own deck. Loved having all the room and own wet bar. Bedding was wonderful and room was quiet. Deck was nice but restaurant exhaust made it very... More

This was my second stay at the hotel and it was wonderful. I did my shopping on Black Friday and it was so easy being right near all the stores. The staff was friendly and the manager was very helpful with directions and ideas on where to shop. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who was looking for a... More
