Guests overwhelmingly praise the hotel's prime Union Square location, friendly service, and spacious rooms with great views, making it a much-loved landmark stay. Recurring gripes are minor but consistent: limited in-room amenities (no tea facilities or microwave), pricey parking, slow check-in when the desk is understaffed, and ongoing lobby construction with the restaurant currently closed. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with many guests saying they would return.
