The hotel is super close to Union Square and in a central area that felt safe. The rooms were clean and a decent size. My only issue was the closet and bathroom had a mildew/cat pee scent to them. I don’t know if this was just a single room issue or if others felt that way as well. The staff was friendly and professional.
