I had a lovely stay at Kensington Park Hotel, which is ideally located just steps from Union Square and various public transport options. The historic charm of the hotel adds a special touch to the experience, though the lack of air conditioning made the nights a bit uncomfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome throughout my visit.

My stay at Kensington Park Hotel had its ups and downs. The location near Union Square was fantastic, making it easy to explore nearby restaurants and shopping without a hassle. However, the experience was marred by a few key issues, including a rude handyman regarding a bathroom issue and a disruptive fire alarm incident. Overall, while the charm of the hotel was appealing, the unaddressed problems left me feeling dissatisfied. 😟
