"A budget-friendly boutique hotel on a convenient but unstylish block off Union Square, the 177-room Galleria Park Hotel has nice touches like free Wi-Fi and an "urban garden" terrace." Full review
Travel + Leisure

Avoid second-floor rooms because function space on the same level infringes on their privacy.

Be sure to spend a little quiet time in the Sitting Room, where coffee and tea are always brewing and scrumptious handmade biscotti make an appearance every afternoon.

Request a south-facing unit for the best natural light.
