Beresford Hotel

As it's a budget hotel, you get what you pay for.The staff are friendly especially Vincent and Mandy.The rooms are very small and the bathroom was tiny. My room was facing onto the street and i didn't hear too much noise. The white Horse bar is part of the hotel and you go there for a free continental breakfast and you can have dinner there too at a reasonable price.The beresford is not too far away from the heart of Union Square, about 5 minutes walk. I also felt safe as i was on my own although there are a lot of homeless/beggars around. Overall i enjoyed my stay and would consider going back.

-Loved the location, close to Union Square and Chinatown but far enough away to be quiet.

-Breakfast is included.

-Charming and old world.

-Very reasonable.

-Didn't love the view of the brick wall from the bedroom window.

Front desk check in is good in the afternoons (friendly staff), but when the shift changes to the morning, the clerk is curt. When I phoned there with questions prior to arriving, he told me to call back because they were too busy. The building is a converted apartment dwelling with the kitchens removed, probably built in the 30s or 40s. It smells sour and musty because it's so old. The room was clean. Nice continental breakfast in the mornings. It has an internet room if you need a computer. The location is good, as it's just a few blocks from the heart of the City--Union Square. Good shopping there!

The staff was friendly and the room was clean. They had free internet and the hotel was a great value for the location. It was nothing extravagant, but it is perfect for those who are there to experience the city and not hang out at their hotel.

This hotel made me feel welcome: The front desk staff was friendly and informative whenever questions were asked.

The hotel is old with original moldings. It is very charming. The rooms are nicely done, not luxurious, but comfortable. The shower heads are wonderful. The hotel and the restaurant and bar staff is helpful and friendly. The restaurant and the bar are convenient. I would recommend this hotel. The street and alley noises can be heard when the windows are open.

This hotel made me feel welcome: The staff welcomed us when we checked in. They informed us that if we forgot sundries they are available at the desk. They had hair driers available. They gave us information regarding other guests in our group. When they were busy we were still made to feel there was no hurry or problem.
