Found a great rate at around £100 a night for this place through hotels.com on a recent promotion. However when checking out,a couple walked in and asked the rate $299 a night. No way I'd pay that amount.
Check In - quick,easy, less than 2 minutes in the room. Lobby small, but what do you need a big hotel lobby for?
Rooms - fairly decent size, great bed, superb shower, bathroom on the small size. We were on the 4th floor with no view whatsoever, sometimes noisy as they were renovating a building near our room.
Restaurant- never ate there, no comment
Location - Next to at least 3 or 4 lines to get your way uptown. 5 minutes walk to Battery Park and South Street Seaport, 1 minute to Wall Street. 2 minutes walk to the PATH station at WTC, handy if coming from Newark. Cafe Jou Jou next to the hotel, 24 hour and does good sandwiches, coffee etc or takeaway pizza joint across the road. Starbucks round the corner. Hunt out Stone Street nearby for a few good places to eat and drink.
WIFI in the rooms were good although my laptop showed this was an unsecured network?!?
Overall, would stay here again if the rate was right, although sometimes wished we were a wee bit closer to the action.
