What makes the hotel special

Travel Gay lists the Washington Square Hotel in its New York guide as “Great value for money” with “Old School charm” in the West Village. It is not a queer hotel, but its location in the historic heart of the movement is unbeatable: Stonewall, Julius’ and the bars on Christopher Street are a few minutes’ walk away.

Rooms and amenities

The rooms are small, as is typical of old New York buildings, and some are a bit dated. There are free pastries and coffee, a coffee bar and luggage storage. Guests praise the staff and location; small rooms without a fridge and hot water that quickly runs short are criticised.
