The hotel was close to the attractions in FiDi - the WTC memorial, One World Trade, the Oculus, etc. You're also close to many train lines. That being said, my room was dirty - stains on the blinds and headboard, clean tissues crumpled and shoved back into the box, the bathroom had moldy caulk, and the windowsill in the bathroom had soapy crusted dust residue and the window didn't shut - it's November! I get this this was a Holiday Inn, but for the price per night (which granted is always expensive in NYC) this seemed quite outrageous.
