This place has an excellent location near Union Square, making taking the subway easy. There's also a Whole Foods and Target at Union Square. An excellent Japanese restaurant nearby and a great French bakery and a couple of bagel shops, as well as a McDonald's for cheaper options. So we were happy with that. However, the sleeper sofa in the room was unusable as a bed as there is a metal bar down the middle. We reserved for three people, so we needed that as a bed. We ended up having to go to Target for a blow up bed for our daughter to sleep on. Also the t.v. stopped working the 6th day of our 10 day stay and, even though they kept promising to fix it, they never did, and they offered no reduction in fees for that. On the 7th night, the heat also stopped working, and the room got very cold. Again, we notified them of this, and it took another day to fix it , so we were without heat for two days. Just unexcusable! We would have checked out and demanded our money back for the remainder of our stay, but we only had one night left. We won't stay at this hotel again. The lack of heating was the last straw.
