I enjoyed my stay at The Fitzgerald. Its located at a very convenient area in Union Square and there are a wide variety of restaurants near by. Im aware this is an old building; however, the staff does a great job in cleaning, you can chose to have housekeeping every day. Had a mini fridge and a full bathroom (with tub), which was very convenient. There's also free continental breakfast from.7am to 10am.

19.2/10 Exceptional! (113 reviews)

Overall, the property was beautiful. However, we had an issue with black beetles in our restroom. I notified the front desk after killing three of them myself and all they did was spray a menthol cleaning agent around the tub. In the morning, I woke up to five or six of them under the bathmat. This ruined room as I am deadly terrified of bugs. At checkout, I did let them know about this and they comped my parking which I feel was an understatement considering what an inconvenience it was to smash black bugs all night. Sad to say that I was not very comfortable.
