“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.”
