Enjoyable stay

I enjoyed my brief stay at the Kensington Park Hotel. The location close to Union Square is very nice and convenient. The hotel is in a historic building that I found charming.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel is primarily an Elks Club facility with several floors of commercial hotel. It is an old building, and the rooms are small or at least feel cramped, with very limited drawer space for your clothes. No ice machines on the floors ("for safety"), so you have to take your ice bucket to the front desk and then they insist that it be delivered to your room (for a tip). The staff is excellent and helpful. The management strongly recommends that you not ask for maid service ("for the environment"). Biggest drawback for me was the weak water pressure and burning or lukewarm water in the showers (plenty of cold water!). Great location; however, just steps off of Union Square. Close to Powell Street and public transportation. For all of my whining about minor issues, I would stay here again as it is well-located, quiet and affordable.

They tried to charge me 2x

I booked thru hotels.com. I booked Friday thru Sunday I paid the amount on there for the e days. No where do the promote that you have to pay 60 to 80 to park a day. So I checked out Saturday due to an emergency during check out they wanted my card so I can pay the valet which is fine. I get my car setting up navigation and I get a notification that is was charged an extra $300. After I already paid before arriving just a bad exp

Shame, could’ve been a very nice stay

They are so strict with the check out time, and only one elevator working, had to wait for more than 5 minutes twice that morning, I requested 20 minutes for check out, after a 4 day stay!!!!
