We had a great stay at Donatello in their remodeled rooms. They offered a lot of space, were clean and staff was friendly as well. The gym was small and the building is too small to provide breathtaking views from the rooftop terrace but this was not an issue for us

The hotel was clean & we felt very safe staying there. The night staff were fantastic. Very friendly & helpful. Bob was very patient & kind letting my nephew help with the luggage. I feel he went the extra mile for us. We appreciated his kindness. The day staff could take some tips from the night staff.

Wonderful location in middle of union square. Can walk everywhere. Note: quite a few homeless in the area but no issues. Hotel was friendly, helpful and we encountered some initial problems with our room (heat and drain) but they quickly fixed by moving us to an equal room. The spa floor is beautiful. The valet and security are terrific and so friendly. Rooms are roomy and comfortable. Very nice stay. Note- they do a vacation resort sales pitch at checkin but not pushy if you aren’t interested, and great perks if you are.
