Regular room with water view better than suite with no water view
The staff of this hotel makes this hotel a Ritz-Carlton experience. The rooms are not as lavish as some other Ritz-Carltons, but they are in slightly better condition than some of Ritz-Carlton's aging properties. The deluxe water view rooms offer great views of the Statue of Liberty and Battery Park. A spotting scope is provided in these rooms making for good sites and people watching. I have also stayed in a Club Executive Deluxe Suite, which was nearly double in size but had a fairly boring city view. When I asked to see a deluxe room with a water view the next day, I immediately realized that it was worth sacrificing space for a view at this hotel. Overall, it was a good experience. Room service and food quality was good as well.
