Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

8/10 Good
"A lovely historic hotel in a convenient location with very comfortable beds, and a lobby with bar, tea, coffee, water and cookies. The beds are quite high and there is a step into the bathroom and a shower over bath setup so it may not suit everyone. I asked for a quiet room and was given one at the rear of the hotel on level 12. I closed the bathroom door at night to reduce noise from the fan. There is no air conditioning but the ceiling fan is quiet and there are good blackout drapes. The windows do open if you find the room stuffy or hot but there are good blackout curtains and the windows seem to be good at blocking out external noise."
