The Lyric is a stylish, modern, and clean hotel for a very reasonable price. We enjoyed the included coffee and teas, which were much better than your standard hotel fare. Parking at the lot around thw corner and checking in and out were a breeze. The location is downtown but a 10 minute walk to WTC or a 10 minute train ride to midtown or elsewhere. I would recommend this place as a solid affordable option with a well curated design aesthetic catering to creative types. There's also a cafe, restaurant, and grocery store in the building which was convenient. Would stay here again.
