The hotel's location is very convenient. It is only a short walk to Union Square. The hotel had clean rooms and comfortable beds. Staff members were helpful .

The area around the hotel is a bit concerning. There were many homeless people in the immediate vicinity. I also found that parking was quite expensive. The gym was also very small and limited.
