Millenium Hilton is located directly across the street from the new construction at ground zero. The noise from the construction will not be a bother at the higher floors. It is conveniently located near a subway line and there are plenty of taxis out front. Also within a few blocks are some decent food selections (deli, sushi, fast food). These are all far less expensive than eating at the hotel. I was surprised and disappointed to see that nine years after the horrible 9/11 attack on the world trade center, that the location is still not much more than a giant hole in the ground. I was expecting to see more progress. The hotel staff is friendly and I would certainly stay here again.
Here is a tip for travellers coming in from JFK. To avoid nasty NYC traffic and save at least $45 on cab fare, take the Air Train from JFK to Jamaica Station. At Jamaica Station transfer to the E subway line which ends at the World Trade Center (roughly 14 stops). Once at the World Trade Center, find the Church Street exit. This will let you out directly across the street from the Millenium Hilton. There are ticket kiosks that sell Metrocards at the Air Train JFK terminal and also at Jamaica Station. It was just as fast if not faster than taking a taxi, much less hassle than sitting in traffic, and far cheaper.
