I reserved the Hilton Millenium directly through the Hilton website, but found a better rate on the French ebookers website. "Terian Dillard" from Hilton's "Our Best Rates Guaranteed" replied that they would not honor my complaint even if I took screenshots.
The Hilton Millenium is situated right at Ground Zero which may be frightening for some souls, but we found it very nice and interesting. We received a room at the upper level of the hotel and what I have been told is that nearly all rooms overlook Ground Zero.
There was work going on all day, all night and during the whole weekend. Nevertheless we did not hear anything of the noise.
The rooms are very big and bright for New York. The week end rate included free breakfast (this breakfast buffet is nice and big - we were told to choose one entrée from the Menu)
There is a pool at the hotel which we enjoyed as well. The only thing I did not like is that it really is a business hotel. The area was dead during the week end and they even closed the subway station right at the hotel during the week end. There is no nightlife around the hotel.
+ great week end rate including breakfast, large and bright rooms overlooking Ground Zero, Swimming Pool
- "Our Best Rate Guaranteed" not honored, business district location which means that there is no nightlife around the hotel and during the week end
