Chain: Synxis Corporation
The birth child of two brothers on business who were looking for an affordable NYC stay, the Union Square Inn combines comfort with affordability. Located on 14th street near Union Square and the East Village, it is not only a budget-friendly self-proclaimed European boutique hotel, but it's close to the East Village, Silicon Alley, the NYU campus and Cooper Union, and surrounded by dozens of bars, cafes, restaurants, and shopping.
Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
I wouldn't necessarily recommend the hotel for a week long stay but it's definitely worthy of a one or two night stopover. Great for people of all ages looking for an affordable place, it's situated right in the heart of all the East Village action. One thing to aware of: there have been some complaints about basement rooms. I stayed in one of them, and it was fine for my standards (and it was only for a night), but for those who may like a little more sunshine in their stay, request a non-basement room. Other than that, you really can't beat the location. The subway is literally right outside the entrance, service is good, and you can walk to wherever you want to go. Read our customer reviews?
