The location was perfect. Right off Union Square. There was coffee in the lobby in the morning but it would have been nice to have some bagels or pastries for the days we had to leave extra early for our tours. They provided us with a tea kettle for our room when asked. That was very helpful for nighttime tea and coffee!
