New York is one of the few cities where I consistently book my hotels through Hotwire, or a similar service, simply because I get value for my dollar in a city where hotel prices are exorbitant. I have yet to be disappointed.
The staff were wonderfully friendly, and the room was clean and attractively furnished. In fact, it was unusually spacious for its location. It had a huge flat-screen TV, nice amenities, and a sweeping but sobering view of Ground Zero. A friend who visited commented that she would find it difficult to look down at that view every day. I, however, was moved by what I saw and was thankful for being able to see the entire vista of where the Towers once stood, from high above the ground.
The downside, as a tourist, is that a downtown location like this can seem remote at times.
I would definitely return to the hotel, especially if I had to conduct business downtown.
