The location was great. It was very close to Chinatown and Union Square. The elevator has a lot of history (is really old) which makes it charming to ride though I mostly just walked up and down the stairs since it was faster. The room was clean and the folks at the desk were always friendly. A struggle I had was that the outside noises (cars, sirens) were loud and disrupted my sleep. However, they did have earplugs sitting at the front desk which let me know what was to come.
