This was my first time staying here and I really enjoyed it. We opted for one of the loft rooms that overlook the Manhattan bridge; I highly recommend this upgrade, it made for a unique experience (unless you have kids, lofts only have one queen bed). Hotel is very clean and modern and practically in the middle of Little Italy and Chinatown which was quite the cultural experience with a plethora of wonderful foods to try. Hotel is very accessable to the subway and within walking distance (within 30-40 min walk) of the Manhattan Bridge, World Trade Center, Brooklyn Bridge, and Battery Park (where you get on the boat for Statue of Liberty).

Travel Tip: You will be in the heart of Chinatown where many of the small family businesses do not accept credit cards so keeping a small amount of cash is a good idea.

This is a great hotel. You'll definitely get more than what you pay for here. The hotel appears to have just been refurbished, and the rooms are amazing. The are large, clean, and have great views. I was lucky enough to be given a corner room on the 8th floor with a view of the Manhattan Bridge from one window, and the Financial District in the other direction. I cannot fault this hotel at all, and I'll definitely be recommending it to others that want to travel to New York.

What a great little hotel - have been to NYC on numerous occasions and for this trip we wanted somewhere reasonably cheap which was clean and comfortable. Room was a bit small but we couldnt complain as we got a great deal. 3 stops on underground to Macys which was great. Walking distance from Ground Zero (about 30 mins) - found a FAB restaurant/bistro en route - The Odean I think it was called - fab food and service. Food and drink in general is a bit on the expensive side overall.

Lovely breakfast in the hotel which is complimentary - hated the tea but then there is no tea like Barry;s tea from Ireland!! However the coffee was great. Also a lovely lady helped me with the waffle machine on the first morning (can;t remember her name but she was so friendly each morning) Hotel is absolutely spotless.

Lift broke down the day we were leaving - pitied those who were checking in!!

Would def recommend this hotel to friends and family if heading to NYC, We'll certainly return.

forgot to review this when i got back - went for st patricks day 2011 for 7nights - had a fab time hotel was great clean comfortable bathroom spotless and room size was fine - stayed on 14th floor which had great views of the bridge - the free breakfast was great and a fab way to start of ur day in the big apple - loved the free wifi as it allowed me to keep in contact with family for free - we arrived at 1pm and got checked in straight away and when we were leaving they kept our bags for us and organised a private taxi to take us to the airport - great hotel at a fantastic price wld defo recommend to friends and family and would return
