Although the hotel is 5 minutes away from Union Square by foot, we wouldn't consider the area to be great. It was a rather noisy neighborhood. However, the reception was clearly recently renovated, so the atmosphere inside was quite nice.
We stayed in a Drama room, which had a corner bed, but apart from that was small, with old windows which didn't open for ventilation and therefore suffered from condensation after every shower. The AC, while noisy, was capable of adequately heating the room. No restaurant or bar available at the property.
