Hotel is a bit out of the way for a short break
This hotel is on the shore of the Hudson river. We got a Statue of Liberty room which had a good view. Battery Park is a bit out of the way for getting around if you are only in New York for a short break. However it is very close if you are wanting to do the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, 9/11 Memorial and Wall Street. The hotel itself is okay. It mainly serves business clients. We opted for a club room so we could use the club lounge. But the club lounge was very disappointing. The food was not that great and drinks options were minimal. Two bottles of wine were left out in the evening. The soft drinks ranged from coke, lemonade or water. The coffee machine was out of order. I really don't think it was worth the extra money. We had a meal in the restaurant and as it was restaurant week we did have some reasonable choices and the food was good. We decided to go to the main restaurant for breakfast the next morning instead of the club lounge but they seemed to be taking ages to get people seated. In fact one group of 4 walked out. After waiting ourselves to be seated we thought that they were not quick enough bearing in mind you wanted to get out and about to see things. So we left too and found a coffee shop a short walk away. One thing we noticed about this area and in fact the whole of New York was how much scaffolding there was around which detracted from the buildings. Also everywhere there were piles of rubbish on the pavements. I am not sure if this was just at the time we went but I would struggle to recommend going back to this area.
