Grand UnionEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The three-star Grand Union, a midrange hotel in Midtown East, is a moderately-sized beast, with just under 90 rooms.

Rooms feature patterned bedspreads, some with swirling paisley designs and others with tropical flower designs. Furniture is mock-colonial, with winged headboards, little bedside tables and work desks. Flat-panel televisions are wall-mounted and framed flower prints provide additional blasts of color. Air conditioning comes via window units and rooms also come equipped with telephones and mini-fridges. Bathrooms are quite standard, though modern and very clean.

The lobby is strikingly bright. While we chatted with the friendly management staff, we kept thinking we were in a doctor's office. Guests include both business travelers and tourists, and come overwhelmingly from Europe. The location, adjacent to Koreatown, is prime.

Wi-Fi is available in the public areas for a small fee.
