An anonymous 47-room hotel in a great location not known for its affordable digs, the Union Square Inn may not be the first place you'd write home about, but it is a steady mid-range hotel with decent nightly rates. The hotel is a member of the small New York Inns Hotel Group, a chain of very similar midrange hotels that includes Murray Hill Inn, another EuroCheapo pick.
Rooms are minimally furnished in neutral colors with framed reproduction artwork. We saw a recently renovated room with a shiny paneled floor and, in a surprising design twist, a kicky bedside lamp. All rooms have private bathrooms that are adequate, though a bit dated, with tiles of varying shades.
A continental breakfast is included. Wi-Fi is available for a charge. We highly recommend requesting a room away from the street, as 14th Street can get noisy.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Union Square Inn neighborhood
Once the provenance of political rallies and drug pushers, Union Square underwent a complete overhaul in the '80s and is now lined by trendy restaurants and giant chain stores, including the scene-y Coffee Shop and the massive, aptly named Virgin Megastore.
Four times a week the park hosts the Greenmarket, where local vendors fill tents and stands with regionally produced products and organic vegetables. Union Square is one of the best people-watching spots in the city: New Yorkers flock to its steps and benches at the first sign of pleasant weather. Artists, avant-garde T-shirt vendors, and political activists are quick to follow.
Gramercy is an upscale area filled with elegant Victorian-style townhouses. The area garners its name from the serene Gramercy Park, built in 1831. Only residents of the surrounding square have keys to this private garden. Most visitors have to make due with admiring the greenery through its stately iron gates.
Staying in this area offers excellent subway access: the 4, 5, 6, N, R, and L are literally below Union Square. And it's an easy walk to the East Village, Greenwich Village, and the Garment District.
