Würden wir nicht noch einmal buchen.
Pros:

Die Lage war sehr gut mitten in der Stadt.

Emplacement idéal et calme pour ce bel hôtel ancien
Pros:

Très très bien situé à côté de Union square et des bus et cable car ainsi que nombreux commerces
Chambre grande et confortable
Très bien équipée et calme
Accueil très correct
L’immeuble de l’hôtel est vraiment ancien avec de très belles moulures et boiseries anciennes y compris le théâtre magnifique
On peut se faire un thé et/ou café le matin de 7 à 10h30 avec des madeleines et un petit cherry le soir apparement et surtout une machine où on peut remplir sa gourde ou bouteille d’eau avec un choix énorme de différentes eaux

Cons:

Rien tout était bien
