Dodgy lifts

This hotel was very reasonably priced for Manhattan. It’s down between Wall St and the Battery very close to the World Trade Centre so transportation is really easy, you can be in Times Square in just over half an hour, the room was spacious with an amazing view one One WTC. The staff were nice and the room was cleaned every day. Now the downside, we had a fridge and an iron which was great but no kettle, which for a Brit was tough. The building has 30 floors of rooms with one lift to reception on 5 and a second set to the rooms. When you arrive it feels like a nightclub with little or no sign to explain where to check in, luckily someone told us. The big issue was most of the lifts didn’t work. One of the 3 from the street was operational and one of 3 for the top floors, which completely gave up at one point and we had to use the service lift. I would stay there again for the price but leave plenty of time to exit the building!

The room is nicely laid out…but… I was given a room that was not cleaned!!! No towels! Wash rags!!! Mirrors that had soap scum on…nothing!! The response I got when I brought it to the attention of the front desk…I was told the attendants must have ran out of stuff to complete the cleaning!!! This is a huge outfit!! How can you run out of linen and towels!!! Had to walk 2 flights down to get ice!! The one on my floor didn’t work!!! Then to top it off…both elevators went down since yesterday!!! It was an attendant that advised me to use the service elevator hidden in a closet and not readily seen!!! WHAT!!!! Unacceptable!! I thought I had found another hotel to add to my choices downtown, because I’m in New York a lot…but has been greatly disappointed!!! But still loves the ambiance and the layout of the room…
Cover on mattress!!!

Only one lift serving the entire hotel. And one set of the floor buttons were working, with a poorly drawn sign on a piece of paper indicating to use the other set of buttons. Could at least make it look smarter. I did like the room though. Great view

The hotel location was great! However, a simple reno and maintenance would've made a lot of difference. The house keepers made so much noice and was talking loud in the hall ways. They knocked on our door and asked if we why we were still in the room when check out was at 1100. It meant she didn't know we were staying for 2 nights. The carpet looked dirty and the bathroom had a smell. 1 working elevator out of the 3. We always had to wait to get to the rooms. The person who checked us in wasnt hospitable. The check out was better.

The Hotel has a lot of more potential. It is sitting in prime real estate. The room was always clean and bed was comfortable. The mirror light was not working but that was ok (was barely in the room anyway). Overall the Hotel is clean and conveniently located in the heart of Manhattan.

The staff was excellent, everyone was extremely pleasant, professional and helpful. The property itself could use some work, it is obvious that it was once really nice and a few good weeks of repairs would do wonders. The shelf in the shower is sharp, if someone ever has a medical issue and passes out they could get seriously injured. Really great place, amazing location, incredibly lovely staff and could really be a polished gem with little effort.

Ótima localização, com quarto de ótimo tamanho. Porém, de 3 elevadores, apenas 1 funcionava. O time de camareiras também precisa de treinamento, pois entraram duas vezes sem aguardar que atendêssemos a porta.
