The Herbert hotel was perfect for our one night stay. It was close to the rental car office and walkable to lots of shops and restaurants. The downside was there was no mini-fridge for our cold food. I did like that we felt safe with the locked key front door. It was quiet and clean.

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel was what you'd expect for being in the heart of downtown in the Union Square area - it's not a super nice area so that makes it feel a little dirty/sketchy. And having to check in at another hotel was a little odd. The room was clean for the most part, besides the bathtub which was rusty and dirty. It was also odd not having any staff in the lobby during our whole stay.

You have to check in down the street at the Stratford Hotel. We went there and asked to check out the room before we committed to staying. The front desk receptionist did not greet us, and when i asked her if she was waiting for the host, that’s when she informed me that she worked there. The room was dirty and it felt more like a hostel than a hotel. We did not end up staying there.

While the stay was fine for the price, it was missing some things that I’m used to staying in a hotel. No fridge or microwave. Restroom door didn’t completely close and the tv only had the loudest volume; you couldn’t change it on the remote. Other than that it’s right in the heart of union square easily got around town from there and never heard any street noise from where our room was. You deal with staff at the Stratford hotel and they were very helpful, picked up extra towels from there on the way in one night. Overall not bad for the price, safe and quiet area.
