Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

4/10 Poor
"I was not happy waiting one hour after the stated check-in time simply because the hotel is understaffed. I also did not appreciate my son being singled out when he entered the hotel and being asked for his room number. The wait times for checking in keep increasing and employees seem to be lacking in number and manners. This hotel has seen better days."
