Travel tips
With the Brooklyn Bridge (~1.1 km), One World Trade Center (~1.7 km), and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (~1.7 km) nearby, many key Lower Manhattan sights are reachable on foot from Canal St. Plan for a straightforward, no-frills stay: rooms may be basic and some in-room features found in larger hotels are not documented for this property. If you’re visiting Midtown attractions like Times Square (~4.8 km) or MoMA (~5.3 km), factor in travel time from Lower Manhattan.
