I had an extremely unpleasant stay at the Chancellor Hotel on Union Square. At 4am, the heater in our room started making extremely loud noises, making it impossible to sleep. When we reported this issue to the front desk in the morning, the response was completely dismissive. All we received was a brief “sorry.” When I asked if any form of compensation or assistance (such as airport transport) could be offered given the sleepless night, we were told no, and that we should have gone downstairs at 4am to change rooms. This is utterly unreasonable. Guests should not be expected to go down to the front desk in the middle of the night due to a malfunctioning facility that is not their fault. A hotel should take responsibility for maintenance issues and handle them with more care and accountability. Very disappointed with both the stay and the lack of customer service. I would not recommend this hotel if you value rest or reasonable treatment from staff.
