Hotels near Union Square Theatre

"Great location to get around easy to train stations and walking to popular destinations "

"Clean room, really small bathroom"

"The hotel is old but clean enough. I gave it a low rating because the tv in my room didn't work, and also I forgot a toothbrush, so I tried to call down to the front desk about 20 times in the evening and the next morning, and no one ever answered. Also tried concierge and housekeeping - same thing. Even tried calling the publicly listed number for the hotel and got no answer. Also it took about 20 minutes to check in because they only had two people working at the front desk despite a long line of guests waiting to check in. I've stayed here a lot for work -- it's a great price -- but this was probably the last time. "

"Not planning on returning back to freehand. This is usually the hotel I get booked for work travel and we also have clients stay here as well. Used to really like it but the last visit wasn’t great. The guy at the front desk was annoyed at our arrival and you could tell. Not sure if that was why we got a smaller room. I’m all about interacting with another human, but if they’re going to be grumbly about checking people in then I’d rather just have a check in kiosk than feel uncomfortable. First time I’ve ever been asked for my ID and my partners ID (that wasn't the main issue just flagging) Cleanliness was okay but you can see the wear and tear in the rooms, beds were not as comfortable and reminder for those that need coffee, freehand doesn’t have coffee makers in the room, but they do remind you they have a coffee shop downstairs. Also would add that shower was lukewarm and ran cold after a few minutes. Understood it’s an older building, but we were in a rush so there wasn’t time to ask about it. For the price point, you’re better off staying elsewhere. Will be recommending we switch to a different hotel for work related travel. "

"We had a great time, room was so small though- we’d done an upgrade for a bigger room- zero room for luggage! Maybe good for a one night stay but not ideal for a longer trip "

"Staff were lovely "

"After considering the reviews I was worried. But my stay was great, especially since I was only in my room to sleep; most of my time was spent out of it. Managed to get early check in at 2:45pm and I think lines form at the elevators because people don’t understand them. "

"Great location, staff friendly. "

"I stayed here March 2026 + when I was coming back in April, I already knew I would book the same hotel. The location was perfect to get to different areas of the city. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean + I couldn’t ask for more. Will def book again when we are back in NY!"
