I am pretty sure the very nice young lady working the swing shift was Amy. Amy was very pleasant & professional. Amy was efficient and very helpful in tracking something down for me. The young man check out was not friendly I asked a few questions and he just looked at me and never said a word. Maybe he is not a morning person. Didn’t catch his name. I do enjoy the room size and super comfy bed I fall and stay asleep like the summer of third grade. Ms.D

Relaxing music in the lobby to enjoy a hot drink before heading out in the morning was a nice touch. The old-time decor was charming. I've never spent any time in hotel lobbies, but this was a comfortable place to gather with our group in the mornings. The concierge was very polite, friendly and responsive.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel is primarily an Elks Club facility with several floors of commercial hotel. It is an old building, and the rooms are small or at least feel cramped, with very limited drawer space for your clothes. No ice machines on the floors ("for safety"), so you have to take your ice bucket to the front desk and then they insist that it be delivered to your room (for a tip). The staff is excellent and helpful. The management strongly recommends that you not ask for maid service ("for the environment"). Biggest drawback for me was the weak water pressure and burning or lukewarm water in the showers (plenty of cold water!). Great location; however, just steps off of Union Square. Close to Powell Street and public transportation. For all of my whining about minor issues, I would stay here again as it is well-located, quiet and affordable.
