Staff was very friendly, and the building has an old school charm like the rest of the city. For the budget, no complaints at all. We didn’t have enough time to check out their attached diner but it seemed really cute!

It was ok until the last day. My room flooded because of person above me. They did not switch my room. Water dropped from ceiling in bathroom all night. The lady at front desk was quite helpful and friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is very nice for the amount paid. It was clean, the staff was helpful, and everything worked. So completely recommend the hotel if you want a budget option near Union Square. That said, you should know that Union square has become a dirty part of town. I saw feces all over the streets and lots of stores have closed.

It’s a quiet little place as I booked a small single room. Only thing I would recommend for the property is that they should provide Atleast water bottles in the room.

Great value and very well located

The location is superb and you can walk to many of the attractions. The staffs are incredibly helpful and friendly. While the room is a bit small, it is comfortable and quiet. I enjoyed my stay and had very restful sleep during my two nights stay in the hotel.
