it’s right next to the union square — it’s affordable but lots of attentive details. Receptionists are really helpful and nice.

Location cannot be beat. Right in Union square but on the side which is quite safe and less homeless people compared to nearby streets. Clean room and exactly like in the pictures. And free cookies which I love so much that I have it every day😃.
