The Bartlett is as described. It is a simple hotel, nothing special but you do get what you pay for. Two things that bothered me was the noise from the piping that runs up the wall and that the walls and floor boards are thin, so you can hear everything! I am a light sleeper so it made for some sleepless nights though my husband slept right through with no problems. Though you are in a location that is close to shopping and union square, of a night there are a lot of homeless on the streets and ladies of the night so we didn’t feel comfortable in this area. Hotel staff were friendly and check in and out was easy and straightforward. It is an okay hotel given the price but don’t expect anything fancy!
