The area was terrible, there is no loading zone to drop off luggage so my car got towed. Didn’t feel very safe walking with all my luggage to the nearest parking garage. The room was fine but there wasn’t a refrigerator. The staff was very nice though

My experience at the Touchstone Hotel was nice and comfortable. The room had a welcoming, fresh smell. The beds could be a bit softer, but overall comfort was good. The experience really depends on the room you book. The staff was pretty chill and very responsive when service was needed. The entire building felt secure, with door codes and key card access, which made me feel safe in the city that never sleeps—literally. If you’re looking to stay near Union Square at a great rate, this is a solid option.

I had an incident with my initial room which the staff was unaware. However, PJ and Juliet were both apologetic and resolved the situation quickly and to my satisfaction. Both employees were professional and personable and made my stay something positive to remember. Looking forward to staying here again.

The room was in good condition. It was nothing fancy, just a room you would expect from a 3 star hotel. It was comfortable and in a good location. It felt safe and you could walk to close-by restaurants, shops, and Union Square. The Asian receptionist was very helpful, and a real sweetheart. I would stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
First of all, yes, I understood this was a budget hotel and yes, I kept my expectations low. I’ve stayed at many and never been as disappointed as I was here. The rancid smell is overwhelming as soon as you walk in the door and permeates throughout the hotel including the room. I found several bugs, and woke up very itchy all over my body. The subpar conditions really are not acceptable and certainly not worth the little you’ll save by staying here.
