Best Location, Best View
Lifelong NY area residents, but in Manhattan for a reunion 
at this hotel. Wonderful location - south end of Battery Park
opposite the Statue of Liberty. Drove in - parking valet 
service best ever! You feel like a queen and king from the
moment they open your car doors and walk you to the
front door! (Not to mention beautiful/famous guests
all around you).
Check in quick and very welcoming. Nowadays hotel
check ins can be either long wait or not friendly.
Small but beautiful lobby. Lovely little restaurant off
lobby. Beautiful fresh floral arrangements all over.
Bell hop service excellent. 
Room was not as large as expected but fine.
Very comfortable bed (important since husband 
has bad back). Large luxurious bathroom (needs 
nonslip plush floormats). Best feature - THE VIEW!
Upgraded room on 4th floor - View of The Statue
of Liberty! And there's a telescope! Wow! One of
the best views in the world and we've traveled a lot.
Restaurant uneven - food great, service very good, 
kitchen very very slow. Had Sat. lunch/Sun. brunch.
Reunion meeting - rooms could have been more 
luxurious, service good not great or cheerful, 
food good but not at all great (and we paid plenty). 
Expected more from large upscale black tie dinner at
the Ritz, especially in NYC - a world food capital.
