Best for

This hotel is best for travelers who want an extremely convenient Lower Manhattan base near the World Trade Center complex, with quick access to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and One World Trade Center on foot. It also suits guests who value on-site dining and drinks (restaurant and cocktail lounge) plus a fitness center, and who plan to rely on nearby subway access for getting around the city.

Travel tips

If you’re sightseeing in Lower Manhattan, plan to walk: the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (263 m) and One World Trade Center (305 m) are very close, and the Brooklyn Bridge is about 1.3 km away. For broader NYC itineraries, the World Trade Center subway station across the street makes it straightforward to reach midtown sights like Times Square (about 5.6 km) and Grand Central Terminal (about 5.5 km). Note that at least some guests have reported breakfast not being served in the restaurant (using room service instead), so confirm current breakfast arrangements at check-in if it matters to your plans.

What guests say

Guests repeatedly highlight the hotel’s standout location near the World Trade Center area, calling it central and convenient for getting around.

Room comfort notes include effective AC, a good shower, and comfortable beds, though some guests feel certain rooms look dated or have maintenance issues (such as non-working phones or windows). Cleanliness is mentioned with mixed feedback, including requests for more careful room cleaning. Dining feedback suggests breakfast service expectations can differ, with some guests noting breakfast wasn’t served in the restaurant and was available via room service instead.
