"Room was clean, staff friendly. Good location from a walking and driving perspective (parking close by) - lots of retail around Union Square, restaurants and bars within 10-12 min walk. Solid option for a reasonable price given the locale and average nightly rates in the area at other chain hotels."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Helpful staff. Given that it’s a historical hotel, expected that the rooms are a little tighter. But good location, there’s convenient offsite parking nearby if you have a car or there’s good access to public transit options. Would recommend!"
