The staff were great. The hotel is very clean and well kept. They allowed me to check in early since the room was available. They had a huge selection of movies for viewing on demand. The location is excellent - in the middle of Union Square next to Macys. I really liked the hotel.

Very clean and tidy facility. The price was very reasonable for the location. The rooms are on the smaller side. However, this room is perfect if you are traveling for only a few days or are just needing a place to rest your head. Would stay again.

The hotel is located in the center of downtown with plenty of places to eat, drink, and shop. The area is very walkable and had ride share options available. A Walgreens and CVS were close by in case you forgot to pack something.
