Cool funky chic hotel, has an elevator from the 20s that you open the doors manually... fireplace in room.... only complaint would be no A/C in the summer and the mattress was a bit worn, not firm enough.

Great location, a few block off of Union Square so it’s quieter, but close enough to shopping if you need it. Wonderful rooms, friendly staff and delicious breakfast. We’ve already booked our next stay!

Had amazing time in the hotel with my daughter. Staff is very helpful and kind. Breakfast was really good - everything you need. Appreciated lady Jemma in the breakfast area ( most likely mispronounced her name) - super kind and nice. Our room was vert spacious. Wine serving is incredible. Very classy and cozy hotel which is really difficult to find nowadays

I really enjoyed my time at White Swan Inn. I reached out the week of my stay for an early check-in and was grateful for a quick response! I was fortunate they were able to accommodate me and check in was quick and easy. I used the valet service as well which is not cheap but was super convenient and in my opinion, worth the money! I would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay. All staff we encountered were kind and helpful. We felt very safe during our stay. They even stored our luggage for us after we checked out, so that we could continue exploring until we had to leave for the airport.

Overpriced and Dirty

Beware of this misleading hotel that robs you. The valet parking sign says $74 for a whole night, yet they charged my card $84 ($10 extra dollars because of taxes. )What they do is park your car next to the garage that charges $20. I had to wait for 30 minutes for my car to be dropped off after I had requested it. What kind of valet parking is that? The free cold breakfast does not make up for the dirty and overpriced hotel. I will provide pictures and you judge for yourself.

Pretty good stay

For a 3 star hotel its pretty nice and affordable. A few nitpicks I’ll explain tho. 1. The windows don’t have screens so don’t leave them open at night (got attacked by mosquitoes) use the fan in the closet. 2. Coffee machine in the bedroom was very dirty on the inside. Did not use it. 3. Very hot in the room Other than that it was a good stay, breakfast is nice, lounge area is beautiful and even wine and snacks is a great idea.
