Handlery Union Square Hotel
Ac is okay, pillow was given 3, but rather soft. Overall good location, good and decent hotel, but whenever nearby room door is closed, the air will make a loud sound to my door too. So when chambermaid is cleaning up rooms around mine, it will be endless slamming sound on my door too.

Very comfortable beds. Walls are pretty thin as we heard neighbors having basic conversations. Awesome location and wonderful employees. Would absolutely stay again.
