Best view of ground zero you will ever get.
We recently stayed for 4 nights at this hotel in a junior suite overlooking the city view and ground zero. We stayed in a basic style room with standard facilities, a little dated even though the hotel was re-built after 9/11,but overall the view of ground zero was the better than the view you get at the visitor centre. The bulidng work is going on in for the freedom towers complex but I suspect staying in midtown Manhatton would be just as noisy with all them street action etc and after all, if you want a quiet week away then go to the cotswolds, hey, this is new york, new york after all. Staff were attentive and friendly,location for Subway excellent, less busy at weekends with workers but then tourists make up the numbers. Overall I have stayed in a lot worse in London for supposed 4 stars and I would recommend staying here and getting breakfast and wifi in Starbucks downstairs.
