4. I went nuts reading mixed reviews on hotels and safe/unsafe areas until I was forced to book something immediately for there were only a few hotels left with rooms available - I booked a room at USPH because it is very near Union Square, because they were cheep and they offered not more or less than what we needed in a room ( two beds and a private bathroom - we were visiting the city, not the hotel room) and because they were the only people that didn`t try to make me book another room for myself or pay extra for a third person in a 2bed room (odd number travel groups are discriminated big time :-)LOCATION:The hotel is on a perfect location (for tourists that care about, both, shopping and site seeing).
