It was almost five years since I've been back home, and this hotel was situated perfectly just blocks from where I grew up. If you are new to lower Manhattan, you will find many attractions just feet away. If, like me, you are returning after a long absence, you will be amazed by all the nearby public open spaces and food from every corner of the world at the doorstep. And to top it off, the most amazing staff and excellent customer service. But, the rooms definitely need a fridge.
