The staff was excellent, everyone was extremely pleasant, professional and helpful. The property itself could use some work, it is obvious that it was once really nice and a few good weeks of repairs would do wonders. The shelf in the shower is sharp, if someone ever has a medical issue and passes out they could get seriously injured. Really great place, amazing location, incredibly lovely staff and could really be a polished gem with little effort.

Boa hospedagem

Ótima localização, com quarto de ótimo tamanho. Porém, de 3 elevadores, apenas 1 funcionava. O time de camareiras também precisa de treinamento, pois entraram duas vezes sem aguardar que atendêssemos a porta.

I would say this hotel is 3 stars at BEST. I wouldn’t go so far to say 2 stars. The hotel could be cleaner, I had to wear shower shoes but it wasn’t super dirty overall. Staff is nice. About a 10 minute walk from the subway, area is somewhat safe at night, but definitely a lot of people during the day. Not sure if I would stay here again unless it was one of the more affordable options (like in this instance). But I don’t regret staying here as well. I would only say it was worth it depending on the nightly rate.

Our reception was very poor from a guy we later saw in elevator reeking of pot. Out of 6 elevators only 2 were working. We received very cheap soap and even then we didn’t get enough. In 5 days, housecleaning came 2 times. But…the location is great.

Subpar option near financial district

Stayed here as only option near a work conference. Only 1 of 3 elevators was in operation and even that wasn't in great shape. Bathroom ceiling above shower had multiple moldy spots. Generally in need of updates. Staff wasn't the most helpful.

If you can get a decent price, this place isn’t bad. Located right by WTC and easy access to all the subways. Didn’t have a bad experience overall and for what I paid it was fine. I think this place does need some upkeep as they only had 1 working elevator of 3, the bathroom had pretty poor lighting and overall the room could use TLC to keep it updated. So I say again, if you get a good price, do it, if not, I would consider the large chain hotels as they usually are forced to keep rooms more updated.

Location is amazing. The view to the one World Trade Center and close walking distance to the oculus and subway station was very convenient. If I had to critique anything it would be that one 1 of 3 elevators were running. Really enjoyed visiting NYC for the first time.
