We spent our last two nights in New York in the Doubletree by Hilton NYC - Financial District. There is no shuttle bus from Newark airport to the hotel so getting there is a bit tricky. If you don't want to pay the taxi fee of 80$ from the airport to the Hotel you can take the subway BUT maybe it is not such a good idea if you are carrying heavy bags with you since many train stations in New York lack elevators and escalators.
The reception area was small but the staff was very professional and helpful. We got the famous doubletree warm chocolate cookie witch by the way taste like it sounds … very good:)
We lived on the 26th floor and our room was smartly furnished with a safe, ironing board, flat TV and a working desk (area). The coast for the wireless internet is around 10$ for 24 hours it was not included in our package when we booked our room.
The breakfast was ok! It was fresh but very small selection. You can get some fresh fruit, corn flakes , coffee, tea, bagels, eggs, some pastries but that is pretty it.
Over all it is a good hotel but I would probably not book it again.
The positive:
- Helpful staff
- Clean room with a good Hilton standard
- Near the cruise to Elis Island
- Complimentary business center great to print out boarding ticket
The negative:
- No shuttle bus from and to airport.
- Small breakfast
- Too noisy because of the heavy New York traffic so it was difficult to get a good night sleep.
