"Well appointed room with a killer view. A pocket door separated the vanity from shower and WC with towel heater. We had two free drinks and morning coffee included with our rooms, a nice bonus. Parking was expensive onsite but there are many garages for less nearby."

"Room was clean, staff friendly. Good location from a walking and driving perspective (parking close by) - lots of retail around Union Square, restaurants and bars within 10-12 min walk. Solid option for a reasonable price given the locale and average nightly rates in the area at other chain hotels."
