Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente"

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The parking was a little hard to get to....you could`nt leave you vehicle out in front of the building. In order to park, you had to go all the way around the block. To retrive your vehicle, you had to walk all the way around the block. I must say the parking staff was very acomadating , as well as the Hotel staff. Very nice people, thank you all."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean, albeit some quirky little things, such as noisy air conditioning unit in our room, the toilet seat was crooked and slipped off constantly. We also noticed some dirt or mold around the shower. The staff were mostly very courteous & professional, although when we lost our $$ in the vending machine, we ask front desk for some help, he just shrugged his shoulders and told us nothing he could do. It’s not the amount of $$ but the attitude. Anyway, overall was a pleasant experience."
