"Great location. Well organized breakfast with good food. My biggest complaint is the pillows. One is not enough and two are too many causing a very sore neck. Toilet tank in our bathroom took forever to turn off after flushing."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent
"This is a hidden gem! We were somewhat leery booking this property because the price was $150 for the night. What we experienced was a great boutique style hotel. The room was smaller but had a large walk in closet, which you don’t see in hotels. This allowed us to put luggage in there and made the room feel bigger. Highly recommend staying here!"
