The room: super quiet, awesome WTC Memorial view with a Juliet balcony, very clean, everything looks new and in good condition, great quiet heating/cooling system, room nice and dark at night (the display on the digital thermostat turns off when you turn off the room lights at night, and the smoke alarm has a barely noticeable glow), good use of space, comfortable bed and linens, mini-fridge and microwave, good size shower with good pressure, adjustable hand-held showerhead, plenty of hot water, nice wardrobe, large TV, good size desk/table, 3 nice chairs in the room, fluffy towels, filtered and sparkling water and refillable water bottles, 24/7 beverage station in lobby, the rooftop lounge!!! and sun terrace. I really love that since they aren't running a bar/lounge on the top floor, that they're letting the guests use the area and patio -- such a pleasant place to read, eat, watch TV, check out the views, visit, and have some space. We had my 14 yo on a rollaway bed that fit nicely on the other side of our queen size bed headboard (the headboard serves as a great room divider); the rollaway was comfortable with a nice 5-6" memory foam mattress. They stored our luggage both before we checked in and after we checked out. Fantastic location for the WTC and near all the subway stations. Safe, quiet neighborhood. Within easy walking distance to Chinatown, FiDi, Staten Island Ferry, Battery Park, Brooklyn Bridge, City Hall, beautiful court houses, and Seaport.
Only 2 negatives: The bathroom door is frosted glass. Not pleasant. You have to use your keycard to use the elevator and the lobby bathroom; makes sense for security, but still a pain.
