We loved the club lounge. Coffee and tea was available all day and until 10:30 pm. We would meet our friends there in the AM and plan our day. Some evenings they have a happy hour and that was nice too. The staff was wonderful, the place clean. Our only complaint was that they were having wifi problems so we were without it for a day or two. I would stay there again.

Other than being on the edge of union square and the tenderloin, this is a great choice. We got the suite which had a nice small fridge, microwave, sink, dishwasher, and actual silverware and dishes. Staff was super nice, and everything just worked. Free coffee and teas up on the roof. Not super expensive. Recommend
