I liked the location it was a beautiful hotel very elegant a nice romantic getaway for the day 😍 great restaurant and up stairs night club I’ll be going back soon thank you
United States of AmericaThe restaurant was a wonderful bonus -- ate breakfast and dinner there. Delicious food, generous portions and excellent, friendly staff!
United States of AmericaThis is a beautiful hotel. The valet service was fast, which was nice. The location was great. The concierge was very helpful.
United States of AmericaDidn't eat at the hotel. Room was nice although when you turned on the faucet in the bathroom sink it got the entire top of the counter wet. The Lobby/bar area was a great gathering place. Doormen were very helpful.
United States of AmericaClose to major touristy areas, staff was very friendly and helpful.
United States of AmericaI've stayed here before and enjoy it. It is an older hotel with character. The location is about a block from Union Square so convenient. The bed was very comfortable. If you are an IHG member, there are extra perks such as free coffee in the restaurant, a wine hour on the mezzanine and an option for a $10.00 credit to "raid the mini-bar" or 400 points. There were shades for the windows that still let the light in and block out curtains when needed. There were a lot of electrical outlets at the desk.
United States of AmericaFree cocktail hour and restaurant on premises. Also Beefeater doorman who were very helpful with information and assistance
AustraliaI liked the facility though the lobby would get a little crowded with bar area. I missed the opportunity for the wine tastings upstairs for some unknown reason, so I was disappointed..
United States of AmericaI loved the location and that it also had a bar/restaurant.
United States of AmericaEnjoyed the complimentary coffee in the mornings and the location was amazing.
