New York hotels near Union Square

I

I paid 2 different fees which mean I was double charged.

bartend and wait staff are great!

my room was tiny. i was there on business. i had to go to the lobby/lounge to do work since there was no desk/chair in my room. luckily, the lounge is comfortable with access to a full bar.

The room was pretty clean, comfortable and nicely decorated.

The room was noisy--I could hear people in the hall and the room next to me. It could have been cleaner but over all it was not bad. I di not like the food in the restaurant "Olive's" it was too salty.

atmostphere was really fun. great buzz about the place every night. evening meal is amazing.

cant think of anything at all

Good location.

Housekeepnng threw away my contact lens solution, they opened the window when they cleaned so my room was freezing every night when I got back. Three days in a row my key didn't work and I had to go back downstairs to have it reprogramed. There was a super funky smell in the room. Thin walls, I could here doors slamming, people talking, etc. There was a thermostat and another heater. When I would turn the thermostat off, the other heater stayed on and I was boiling at night. Internet was really slow. Elevators were also super slow. Poor water pressure in the shower.

How is this hotel available for online bookings? When I arrived for a business trip, I walked upstairs to the check-in hallway (not a lobby) to meet a man behind plexiglass who told me that the hotel is CASH ONLY but there was an ATM I could use (for a large fee). I was given a key card to my room that was up another flight of stairs at the end of a long hallway. This is clearly a rent-by-the-hour establishment. My room barely fit a full bed and the window in my room opened to a cement chute. No light here! (For a size comparison, think half the size of an interior budget cabin on a cruise ship). It was late so I decided I could suffer through one night. I have stayed at Red Roof Inns with nicer amenities, though. The radiator sounded asthmatic and kept me up most of the night. The bathroom had sandpaper towels (one of which was terribly stained), a shower with no hot water and poor water pressure, and a tiny bar of soap and half-filled bottle of shampoo. No conditioner, lotion, washcloths, hair dryer, or even glasses for water. There is a warning on your receipt when you check in that the management is not responsible for any personal property left in the room. If you want to secure your things while you are out, you have to check them behind the plexiglass in the tiny "office." The worst part of my stay was that when I woke up, I felt itchy. I couldn't shake the feeling all day. After my business meetings I booked a red-eye home and forfeited the second night stay. AVOID!

Great location
