Pet-Friendly Policies

“Hotel Spero's restored lobby makes a striking first impression, reflecting the building's history. Rooms are well-furnished, though some show their age-a trade-off perhaps for its prime location near Union Square and public transport. I found the hotel's blend of historic charm and modern amenities appealing, especially given its dedication to sustainability.”

Comfortable accomodations near Union Square

helpful staff modern amenities central location
The staff were helpful. I had a great king room with modern amenities. The hotel is located near Union Square. The wine store next door made it convenient for a special evening.
The hotel is very small.

The hotel included a gym, though specifics on equipment were not observed. A coffee and tea station sat near reception. Elevators required key card access, but I noticed they weren't working for all floors.
