Room and bath were very clean. The bed was really comfy. The hotel is charming and the staff were great. It is only a couple of blocks from Union Square and there were great breakfast places within a short walk. They do offer a nice continental breakfast in the hotel. The only thing we missed was a coffee pot in the room. They had coffee in the lobby, but we enjoy having coffee before we get dressed. Overall a great hotel with a lot of character.
