I had a wonderful stay at The Chancellor Hotel. From my first interaction with Daniel at the front dest, the bellman helping me with our luggage, and cocktails at the bar with our fabulous bartender, Alicia. The room was clean and comfortable and the property was convenient to everything we chose to do. I highly recommend this outstanding hotel. (See my photos for the only things I pilfered.) 😀 I should also add the the parking is very close to the hotel and it’s a safe and secure garage.
I didn’t have the opportunity to use the bath salts in the gorgeous deep bathtub so I brought them home.
The Chancellor Hotel is over 100 years old and I loved the look of their paper coasters. So I snagged 3 of them. Don’t tell.

The room wasn’t thrilling, but it did the trick. The front desk staff was dismissive and did nothing to go beyond the bare minimum. It’s a great central location and you can get a direct view of union square through the fire escape, but
