Nice boutique hotel near Union Square

Good option if you need to stay in this not very appetizing area (which isn't really the hotel's fault...). Small but nice, with sangria on arrival and water machines scattered throughout as well as a nice room and diner next door for breakfast. It's nothing fancy, but it's good value for the price.

Great Stay – Comfortable and Well-Managed

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. Everything was excellent—the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, the beds were very comfortable, and the room was quiet and cozy. It truly felt like they thought of every little detail to make the stay enjoyable. I highly recommend it for a relaxing and well-thought-out experience!

Good but could be better

It was a very nice hotel, the only thing was the thinness of the walls as I was walking in the hallway and in the room we were staying, some rooms were very loud.

Beautiful lobby, warm and inviting. The room was a bit small, no where to put clothing other than wardrobe - needed drawers. Loud outside - could have used a noise machine.
