Nice kid friendly hotel in manhattan
We were visiting NYC in may 2012 with family . We had a family reunion in NYC . We chose this hotel because of the location and the kids wanted a swimming pool in the hotel .
The room had excellent views of the ground zero and Hudson river. Plus it's close proximity to century 21 was also an added bonus ;-) did not had to carry those shopping bags for long distances . 
Did not had any meals so cannot comment on it but otherwise it was an excellent experience .
