Great value and very well located
The location is superb and you can walk to many of the attractions. The staffs are incredibly helpful and friendly. While the room is a bit small, it is comfortable and quiet. I enjoyed my stay and had very restful sleep during my two nights stay in the hotel.

4/10 Fair

JPM limits options
I decided to prioritize being walking distance to my meetings over a nice hotel and it was JPM week so everything was crazy expensive. However, I’ve stayed in similar older smaller hotels off Union Square before and this was worse for similar priced options. Floor covered in dust bunnies, radiator heat didn’t work first 36 hrs, bed very uncomfortable. I have to give props to team though - 24/7 locked & manned door and most staff quite friendly and helpful. Elevator was functional.

As-expected and good budget option
Room was as-expected. Just the basics with no frills, but looked like the photos and everything in the room was clean. The hallways and stairwells are definitely outdated and have a unique smell, but for a low-cost room in this area, it was sufficient. The staff are incredibly friendly and supportive.

Worst people
I would put zero stars if I could. They kicked us out for no probable reason, finally, my thinking it was because of race . Worst hotel and customer service especially the owner, he should not run this business.

area didn’t feel safe at first, but it ended up not being too bad. the room was really small, but comfortable enough. no fridge or microwave. the floor seemed a little dirty but I just wore socks the whole time. there was a weird dent in the wall above the bed. i was only there to sleep so it was convenient and nice enough. nice staff!

The value for the property and the location is unbeatable. Yes, it’s an older hotel, so as many reviewers have commented, it has a bit of a musty smell in the hallways. The room, however, was clean, quiet and comfortable. Staff is super friendly. If you are looking for great value and a very accessible neighborhood I highly recommend the Touchstone Hotel.

Clean but simple
Quick over night stay for business and don’t want to pay 350 for a room. This hotel was priced right but the old “ get what you pay for” should be taken into consideration. Small room, very firm double bed with basic sheets and cheap mattress. However the place was clean and there were even some toiletries. The shower was quite old and showed its wear. I thought it was dirty at first but realized it was just etching and deterioration. The staff at the desk were kind and pleasant and for a quick night sleep it was fine. If you re looking for luxury, skip this place. It’s basic but clean and adequate.
