unique vibe friendly staff
i loved the unique vibe and literary theme throughout the building. the staff were very friendly and helpful, offering sangria at check-in which i do appreciate. i also found the location to be very convenient, near union Square and public transport.
the WINDOWS were very THIN. i could hear street noise throughout the night, it did disturb my sleep.

great location helpful staff quiet room tiny elevator stocked refrigerator limited space
the location was great. it was just a block from union square. the staff went out of their way. the family room was great. it faced the rear and was quiet.
the big issue was the elevator. even when working, it was tiny. i could barely fit with my luggage cart. the refrigerator annoyed my group. it was full of beer and soda for sale. i had to take everything out to use it.
