"My husband and I stayed here for six nights in mid-August, 2011. Our room, costing a mere $105 per night, was small but extremely neat and clean and had charming decor. All the hotel staff members we met were notably friendly and always offered help but were not pushy or invasive. Breakfast (included in the above cost) was simple (toast, muffins, or croissants and tea or coffee) but adequate and served efficiently and with a smile. The animals--a golden retriever (Cookie), a Boston terrier (Patsy), and an orange tabby cat (Pip)--were also complete delight. We enjoyed visiting with the pups in the morning, and Pip was a guest in our room on a few different nights. Finally, the location (about two blocks from Union Square) was unbeatable at the price. All in all, we were impressed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay--it was more than worth what we paid. "
