Best for
This hotel suits travelers who prioritize a downtown Manhattan location and want to be close to the World Trade Center area, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, and the Brooklyn Bridge on foot. It can also work well for sightseers planning to split time between Lower Manhattan and classic uptown attractions like Times Square (about 4.6 km) and Rockefeller Center (about 4.9 km), accepting a longer trip north.
Travel tips
If you plan to walk to the World Trade Center area, One World Trade Center (about 1.2 km) and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (about 1.3 km) are among the closest major landmarks. Some guests mention limited views and occasional brick-wall outlooks, so consider requesting a room with a better outlook if that matters to you. A few reviews also point out sound insulation concerns, so light sleepers may want to pack earplugs.
