8/10 Very good

We loved the club lounge. Coffee and tea was available all day and until 10:30 pm. We would meet our friends there in the AM and plan our day. Some evenings they have a happy hour and that was nice too. The staff was wonderful, the place clean. Our only complaint was that they were having wifi problems so we were without it for a day or two. I would stay there again.
Susan, 4-night trip

Staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant. Nancy, the Donatello manager, was fantastic at resolving a reservation issue that we encountered.

Travlale, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Other than being on the edge of union square and the tenderloin, this is a great choice. We got the suite which had a nice small fridge, microwave, sink, dishwasher, and actual silverware and dishes. Staff was super nice, and everything just worked. Free coffee and teas up on the roof. Not super expensive. Recommend

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic Location

Fantastic location rooms are gorgeous the staff is amazing and the rooftop is amazing
April, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very disappointing hotel to stay at. Their internet was shut down the entire two days we stayed and you could only text them. Their phones didn't work and still don't so you could not talk to them. And the bathroom had no fan so the small bathroom steamed up quickly. Also, we left a feather pillow on the bed and they could not find it the same day we checked out. It was an expensive pillow so it is obvious someone kept it.
Kathryn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Big room, a bit dated…
