Nice hotel in a great location
Have just spent a week in the BW Seaport Inn and found it a comfortable hotel in a good location. We had a terrace room on the 6th floor overlooking the bridge and seaport, the room was large, clean and tidy although the terraces are a little untidy. On the Saturday evening of our stay we had to move rooms as there was a problem with the main door lock, we were moved to another room on the 6th floor that was even larger,this time over looking Peck Slip. TV's have a good choice and HD channels. The wi-fi connection is also excellent throughout the hotel. The only real problem with the rooms is the noisy air cooling, we thought this may have been just our bad luck but it was the same in both rooms and you could also hear this in other rooms. You need to be a heavy sleeper for this not to disturb you.
We never struggled to get a seat for breakfast between 7.45 - 8.00 am and we enjoyed the selection on offer and it was always well stocked. 
Staff were always friendly especially Frank who has a great manner with customers and always helpful.
There is a lot of work going on in the area but there is in the whole of New York and the noise rarely starts before 9 and is always done by 4. Once this is finished the area will be lovely and the Seaport Inn will be an even better choice.
As for the area now, there are some great local resteraunts and bars on the doorstep and a great place to stay after the noise, hustle and bustle of the city. If you enjoy walking then this is a great area to stay although the subway is only a short walk. 
All in all a good value hotel and we would definately stay here again.
