Justifies the Price, and then some.
Visited with partner during early September. US Open + NY Fashion Night Out + Labour Day meant ridiculously high prices for all central properties thus decided to stay at the Financial District despite being chiefly on a pleasure trip. Was not disappointed. Very close to the South Ferry point where one can take the free ferry to Staten Island with small but adequate views of Ellis Island( Statue of Liberty). 
The Hotel is chiefly a tall building with the reception at the Second Floor. Decent rooms, and the quality that can be expected from a Doubletree property. There is an excellent breakfast joint right opposite if the same is not a part of your room package. Opens at 6 and serves excellent Muffins, Sandwiches, French Toasts, Pan Cakes et al. Quite budgeted. Eating options around include plenty of places just a few meters away and one would find multiple subway connections to lead you anywhere in New York provided travelling in subways is your thing. 
TIP: The closest subways do not have escalators. Find out which stations provide a step free access before hand if you have plenty of luggage. I still don't know else would have mentioned here. If you have far too much luggage, I suggest a cab from the airport. I believe it costs about $ 40-50.
I would stay here again.
