AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

Herbert Hotel draws budget-minded travelers for its central Union Square location and easy access to transit, shops, and dining, but delivers very simple rooms and limited services that suit short stays more than extended visits.

The hotel is a huge disappointment. Terrible experience. There is no staff on property and I never saw one hotel employee in four days at the hotel. You have to check in at a separate hotel across the street and carry your towels across the street with you. My shower had hair and a woman’s eye lashes in it. The hotel is filled with creepy pictures of old men because it used to be a men’s club back in the old days. My hotel room had an awkward adjoining bathroom where I could hear the person next to me the entire trip. Bed and pillows are uncomfortable, there are no amenities. I couldn’t even find an ice machine, or a water refill station. I hope this review helps someone avoid such a disappointing stay where I feel like I experienced false advertising.

Bed and pillows could use a refresh, but things were clean and decent for the price. Annoying that you have to check in on the next block. And you have to be careful to shut the door tightly or you may get followed in by an unsavory character.

We used to come to this hotel all the time before Covid. It used to be well taken care of and we always loved that it was quiet and you couldn’t hear anyone in the halls or the next rooms over. The last two time were quite terrible. Basic things like hand soap was not there, no body wash, no wash cloth, no hand towel. The fire smoke detector base had bleeding noise the whole night which made it hard to sleep. The curtain shade was all torn up. There was only one light that worked, had to get out of bed to turn it of and no side bed lights. Not sure what happened to this place.
