convenient location attentive reception great bar annoying doors musty smell area improvement
The location of this hotel is quite convenient. It sits a short walk from Union Square. The 24-hour reception service is wonderful. I found the staff helpful. The bar is pretty nice too.
The automatic bathroom doors were somewhat annoying. Some towels had a musty smell (that was a bit off-putting). I thought there could be improvements in that area.

I adored the friendly staff. They were so attentive. the room had lovely books to read and a window i could open, so refreshing! upon request, they provided yoga mats, microwaves, and even room diffusers.
I found the lack of drawers a bit inconvenient. I had to either hang everything or live out of my suitcase, it wasn't ideal!
