This was to be a new adventure in Tribeca/Soho. I arrived with a 13 year old daughter and through our 5 night stay we had my husband join us 3 nights and my college age daughter 1 night. The location is not great for women alone or with teens. Canal street gets very empty and walking from 2 of the train lines doesn't feel safe. The location is more like Chinatown/Tribeca/Soho. Canal street is a mess. However, Tribeca and Soho can be fun for shopping and restaurants. For site seeing (museums, UN, Theater, Rockefeller Center, Central Park etc) we spent a lot of time on trains and taxis. The hotel itself is just okay. The staff vary from the bellhops which were wonderful to the front desk which was rude and hopeless. We booked a suite and asked that they have the queen sofa bed made when we arrived. When we arrived I double checked and was told it was fine. It wasn't. On the 3rd night it was finally made. The suite is actually not a suite so much as a sizeable room with a king bed and queen sofabed. If I were to do it again, I would go back to the Lucerne or one of the hotels that has true suites. I should say the air conditioning here was great for a NYC summer, the room amenities were very good and that Sheraton bed is great (the sofabed was not). We are loyal SPG fans, but sometimes it pays to look elsewhere and this hotel is not worth the cost. Also the large groups staying there meant the noise from halls was a pain if you are trying to sleep. The lobby is packed all of the time. My one serious recommendation if you stay here. When you leave the hotel go to the right (west) Great restaurants, train line to upper west side and Ya-Ya nails spa! To the left (east) and it's awful.
