Handlery Union Square Hotel
The room was clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location and very quiet. The only thing is that the room was quite warm and we had to leave the window open all night. The thermostat in the room was not working.

Rooms are spacious, clean, and location couldn’t be better. The attitude and less than friendly attitude of the gentleman during check in was less than pleasant, but tolerable for a one night stay.
