Good location with easy access to stores (Macys, Bloomingdales, Westfield's shopping centre etc.) Right next to Union Square which currently has an ice-skating rink. Friendly staff despite the ongoing strikes outside the hotel. If requesting a room ask for a high floor as the people striking are beating drums and chanting all day from about 6:30am till around midnight. Understand the strikes outside all Marriott owned hotels have been going on since October! My colleague was unable to get room service due to the strike. Had breakfast which is included in my rate, basic but ok. Room is of a decent size, clean and well appointed.
