The location is very convenient, with easy access to Union Square and nearby attractions. The dining experience is average, with some tasty pastries but limited choices and additional charges for certain items.
The hotel rooms are spacious with a good bathroom but lacking proper noise insulation, offering only pastries and powered milk for breakfast. The staff is friendly but tends to be preoccupied with their phones. Despite this, the hotel is centrally located though amidst a grotty environment with many homeless people around.
