Hotel Spero, Vignette Collection by IHG
Nice clean hotel with good size rooms in an excellent location near Union Square. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The only down side was the breakfast - the hotel kitchen and dining area are being refurbished and hence the usual full breakfast could not be offered.
