Travel tips
If you’re on a tight schedule, budget extra time for vertical travel—guest feedback frequently mentions long waits and crowding for the elevators in this high-rise building. Light sleepers may want to request a quieter room, as reviews note that sound insulation can be an issue. Use the hotel’s location to plan a walking itinerary: the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (855 m), One World Trade Center (985 m), and the Brooklyn Bridge (1328 m) are all within an easy radius.
