Elevators are uncomfortably small. Room was nice but everything felt cheap, it felt like you had to be extra careful. Staff isn’t friendly.

Small space
Room is very small, especially the bathroom. The pictures on hotels.com and online are deceiving. The bathroom and the sink are much smaller than shown. The hotel elevator only fits 4 people with luggage. It's a very small elevator and hotel, as well as room.

Hotel was cute, and modern. Room looked a lot different than what was in the pictures. Also disgusting dirty area as soon as you walk out of the hotel. Homeless urinating in the streets, etc.

I had adjoining room. I can hear everything even a whisper. I was trying to keep the volume down but the next door had TV on all night. I couldn’t sleep. I could hear candy unwrapping. Not sure if different room would be different. Good location & reasonably clean. Tiny sink in bathroom. U could hit ur head on glass shelf over the sink if u are not careful.

The $29 resort fee is a joke. It covers a $10 credit at the bar plus a weight room they should be embarrassed about (tiny and barely equipped). Room was a decent size but could have used a dresser and comfortable chair to sit in

Reception staff were very helpful and friendly.
Breakfast and bar good.
The rooms were a bit dark and old fashioned, but very clean and comfortable.
Location close to Union Square, althoughTaylor St is a bit rough - many vagrants on the street.
