This was literally the worst experience I’ve ever had in a hotel ever. My sheets had a stain on them that was not small. It was not good at all. I asked to be moved and our next room had hairs on back of toilet and in and around the tub. You can not control the heat in your room. I went downstairs and the front desk said it’s 1 thermostat for the whole building. Also, someone, staff was cooking and the whole hotel wreaked of food. We were forced to stay that night but checked out 1st thing next day. I complained to Expedia and they tried to get me a refund. I did not want a refund from the night I stayed only not be charged for the remaining part of my trip. But seriously, I do not complain but this hotel was bad.

I stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, it wasn’t ideal for a business trip. The room had only three hangers in the closet, and there was no desk or workspace available anywhere on the property. There was also no lounge or common area where one could sit and work. The building itself feels outdated and could use some upgrades. My room was cold, with no thermostat or extra blankets provided, which made it uncomfortable. Being on the top floor, I also found it concerning that the window opened all the way without any safety features in place. Overall, not an excellent choice for business travelers.

Union Square Plaza Hotel – 10-Night Stay (11/07/25–11/17/25) Total Paid: $1,255.10 My stay at this hotel was one of the most disappointing and unnecessarily stressful experiences I’ve had. To begin with, housekeeping never cleaned our room a single time during our 10-night stay. The only time the housekeepers entered was unannounced while we were asleep, which is a serious safety and privacy concern. But the biggest issue came from a senior staff member, whose behavior was shockingly unprofessional. When we requested a late checkout, this person loudly announced to us that they had “told everyone not to grant you a late checkout,” speaking in a hostile and confrontational tone. As we were packing to leave, they even had housekeeping waiting outside our door, creating an extremely uncomfortable and pressured environment. This wasn’t a misunderstanding — it was deliberate and unnecessary rudeness from someone who clearly should not be in a customer-facing role. It’s unfortunate, because most of the staff were kind. But one person in a position of authority created an atmosphere of hostility that overshadowed the entire stay. Between the lack of housekeeping, the privacy violation, and the dismissive treatment at checkout, I cannot recommend this hotel. Management seriously needs to address how guests are being treated by those representing them.

Unsafe area too much homeless people. At night they poop and pee everywhere. Even experienced getting followed. The hotel is old. Very tight space for bathroom but the bed was alright. The staff was nice at least to help us with technical issues. The full bed room was really tight but the two beds bigger room had a decent space to move around. I wouldn't come back again but it was a decent experience. Wouldn't recommend for safety issues.
