Room and bath were very clean. The bed was really comfy. The hotel is charming and the staff were great. It is only a couple of blocks from Union Square and there were great breakfast places within a short walk. They do offer a nice continental breakfast in the hotel. The only thing we missed was a coffee pot in the room. They had coffee in the lobby, but we enjoy having coffee before we get dressed. Overall a great hotel with a lot of character.

The room was perfect for our family of 5. The kitchen was great, the beds super comfy and the location was super central.
However the noise at night was really bad. Even with ear plugs the riff raff was a lot. We’d stay here again but would definitely insist on a higher level room away from the street.
