Fantastic splurge location.
Settled in the financial district. Very close to the 9/11 memorial, Liberty Park, and a short walk to the ferry. More attractions are a bit more of a walk... and Ubers can get expensive.
The stay itself is pretty darn nice. The building is very well presented and has an earthy theme in conjunction with a modern look. Instructions are pretty clear and you can get into the lobby with your code, and you use the same code for the rooms. This particular stay I had was right on the 8th floor, which was a very quick flight of stairs down to the laundry on the 7th floor. The rooftop terrace isn't as extravagant as I imagined, but it was still very nice to have as an option, and the flora was a very nice touch (although those sensitive to the sun would appreciate a shelter for shade).
The room itself is VERY nice. It is essentially a suite, equipped with pots, pans, plates, cutlery and silverware, coffee pot, French press, everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Everything looks clean, modern, and nice. Most utility items (microwave, trash, dishwasher) are hidden within the cabinetry, which was a clever aesthetic touch. The three windows we had allowed in plenty of natural light, but the view is of the next building... so not fantastic, but that's also what comes with being in NYC. Same with traffic noise from ground level... you WILL hear vehicles honking, but it comes part of the territory... nothing they can control. Open concept for the shower, which was nifty but kind of strange as it let water go EVERYWHERE in the bathroom.
Staff was very friendly and greeted us every time we came and left. Got there a little early and they were kind enough to let us in at 3:40ish instead of the 4PM check in without any extra charge.
I had scheduled a delivery way in advanced and it was delivered to the room for my arrival. Fantastic customer service well in advance!
It is a bit expensive per night, but it was definitely worth the splurge. Nicest hotel suite I've ever stayed in... definitely added to the trip.
