Staff was amazing and very attentive. The hotel is located a few seconds walk from Union Square, which makes it ideal for some shopping and access to transportation. The hotel is clean, with nice architecture/deco and has filtered water fountains on each floor. My only gripe is with the bathroom. The toilet was very close to the wall, making it slightly uncomfortable. The shower bassin was poorly designed, with water dripping from the shower screen to the outside of the bassin resulting in a mess after every shower. Apart from that, great hotel.

Bien sans plus …
Bel Hotel, très bien situé. Super service. Beau Lobby. Chambre Junior suite grande et bien aménagé. Par contre, mur en carton, on entends TOUT. Pomme de douche à 10 pieds dans les air et non deplacable donc difficile de prendre une bonne douche. Manque de rangement dans la salle de bain. Lumière dans la salle de bain s’allume au mouvement….donc durant la douche …la lumière s’éteint…désagréable.
