I found the hotel to be conveniently located, being really close to Union Square metro station and right in the center of the action. The room lacked air conditioning, but the service was exceptional with amenities like dry cleaning, laundry, and tours/ticket assistance. The dining options, particularly local fish, were impressive. However, the price seemed a bit high for the value offered.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The location is just perfect, close to everything you need and right by the Golden Line subway. The rooms were a bit hot without air conditioning, but overall clean and comfortable. The service was outstanding, and the staff was very helpful. The dining, however, was not impressive with limited options. The facilities were good, but the price could be a bit high for what is offered.

The hotel is ideally located, in a safe area near Union Station and downtown, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. The rooms are lacking air conditioning but offer good value for the price. The service is attentive, with convenient options for dry cleaning, laundry, and tours or ticket assistance. The dining experience, while offering English muffins, could be improved.
