The shower water was cold and I repeatedly told the front desk. They told me the maintenance was going to fix it, but they never did. The lady doing the night shift at the front desk was rude, just telling me that there was nothing she could do. I will definitely avoid this hotel in the future.

There was no air conditioning and the room was warm and very stuffy. There was a ceiling fan but it was still very warm and we traveled in January. The rooms were also very tight/small and close together.

The main reason to stay here is for the location. It is just in a great spot right off of Union Square. It is a pretty old hotel, but it definitely makes up for it with the inexpensive rooms. The water temperature fluctuates a little bit, but you can get used to it. If your window is facing the side of another building, it can actually get noisy with the howling wind. The hotel has an awesome water-filling station for your reusable water bottles in the lobby for hotel guests. You can get flavored waters or even waters with electrolytes, vitamins, etc. Other than that, the room is cleaned pretty well. Also, Manfred, at the front desk in the mornings, is very nice.

Afternoon/ evening front desk person wasn't easy to communicate with. Room itself was comfortable but could use newer windows for sound proofing and insulation. Heating system was not sufficient enough during cold weather. Bathroom needs grab bars in shower!

The room was a little small as it is an antique hotel. Great location and great service. The heater in my room didn't work & maintenance engineer was gone for the day, so they brought me a space heater that worked fine.
