great hotel!
I was a bit hesitant when we booked this hotel but i had no reason to be! our stay was very enjoyable, the staff was always very friendly and courteous and the amenities up to par with doubletree standards.the hotel is in a quiet street just steps away from 3 different subway lines and the ferry which is a great plus! even if you are a tourist you will enjoy the hustle and bustle of the wall str area and ground zero which is within walking distance.there are several places for eating nearby but they tend to close early on the weekends so have that in mind. Also for the bargain shopping aficionados, century 21 is a leisurely 10min walk away, tjmax 5min and lots less 7 min. As everywhere is NYC there are ton of things to do in the area, so don't be afraid that you are not near midtown! Concerning the hotel itself always have in mind that you are in NYC! the rooms are comfy and not small but of course don't expect anything too huge. the hotel has about 44 floors and 10 rooms per floor so do the math concerning space! however every thing was satisfactory including the elevator situation that got the worst reviews. the max i had to wait was 4min which given the floor situation is not that bad. If you have a Hilton hhonors cards be sure to ask for your extra perks (free breakfast and in-room wifi) other wise surf from the lobby and grab something to eat from flavors or duane reade on the corner.Overall a great hotel that should not be overlooked!
