We spent A LOT of time looking for a place to stay in NYC. Most of the hotels are very pricey but when we came across the Wall Street Inn, we thought their prices were reasonable and assumed this was because they were in the financial district, away from the centre of town and Times Square. The distance did not prove to be much of a problem for us since my husband downloaded a free Fodor's iphone ap that we could use off-line and it helped us figure out which train to take (ride to times square was about 15 minutes). What a great spot to stay. Rooms are very clean and well maintained and the overall warm atmosphere of the hotel is a bonus. Washrooms are clean and a good size with "heat" available to make your overall experience even warmer. Stone street out back is a great addition since you can wander there for a variety of food and drink choices and Leo's just around the corner is the ideal place for breakfast bagels and coffee. Further you are walking distance to Century 21 for shopping (about a 10 to 12 minute walk) & walking distance to the Brooklyn Bridge. We found the prices reasonable, the staff helpful and the location very well placed for what we wanted to do. One suggestion is to talk to the hotel staff about transportation - we took the Go Link shuttle in from JFK airport and were the last stop (a 1 hour flight from Toronto but it was almost 3 hours on the shuttle since we were the last people dropped off). We paid $46 to Go Link but for $56 cash we could have booked a driver known by the hotel and it would have been a direct trip saving us about 2 hours of travel time within the city. Bed was very comfortable, room was a reasonable size & we found the staff helpful. Only complaint was that their wireless internet was very weak but there is another wireless link in the area that proved better than the hotel's internet.
