The people were very friendly and took great care of us. The room was a bit warm but we opened the window. It felt like a European hotel; lots of charm, not standard, not fancy.

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.
