You have to check in at a different hotel for some reason we had no clue, a passerby told us. At the actual hotel there wasn’t any staff for our entire two night stay but they texted us to ask if we needed anything. The bed was super comfy and we had no trouble sleeping at night. Only complaint is the bathroom was so gross, there was hair everywhere and the shower didn’t drain…

The Herbert hotel was perfect for our one night stay. It was close to the rental car office and walkable to lots of shops and restaurants. The downside was there was no mini-fridge for our cold food. I did like that we felt safe with the locked key front door. It was quiet and clean.

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel was what you'd expect for being in the heart of downtown in the Union Square area - it's not a super nice area so that makes it feel a little dirty/sketchy. And having to check in at another hotel was a little odd. The room was clean for the most part, besides the bathtub which was rusty and dirty. It was also odd not having any staff in the lobby during our whole stay.
