Anonymous, Jan 2016
Pros (+) Location is perfect, steps from Union square, local music, theater and shopping. Price was very good.
Cons (-) Two complaints although minor would have been easy to fix. The room had a coffee machine with packaged coffee but house cleaning forgot to leave new coffee packets for Sunday morning. The car was valet parked in the garage for the weekend but it was returned with some very minor new scratches on the drivers door.
