    Location location! Parking is terrible but that's NY! check in was smooth. We were given our room and key.. made our way up to SOMEONE ELSES ROOM and as I slipped in my key, they were " getting busy" lol. As all of us jumped in surprise I showed the embarrassed woman my room key with her room number. My husband, daughter and myself quickly went to the front desk. They really felt bad. We were given another room on the top floor overlooking the twin tower memorial which was AMAZING! Floor to ceiling windows and a large double opening window. It was beautiful. It was worth seeing the escapades in the first room. The hallways are very narrow but THATS NY! We visited the rooftop bar and it did not disappoint. I cannot speak to the amenities because we were out and about but we enjoyed our room.

    Room with a view!!!????

    Executive summary: overpriced and not worth it! I was in NYC for work and decided to stay at this hotel. Big mistake. The room was old and tired, furniture looked ancient and the bed was made as if a toddler tried to make their own crib. See photos for evidence; the under sheet didn't even cover the bed! The room is in desperate need of updating. Oh, I asked for a high floor room; was given 2nd floor with a view of a wall! They have an electronic concierge, which is essentially an one-way communication (see text exchange). They are bombarding you with texts, but no one responds to requests or feedback. The only reason why I gave 2 stars as opposed to 0, is the staff. They are amazing; courteous, helpful, fun! Overall: stay away!

    So far this hotel is really nice! I love all the amenities they have to offer. Best part is they have unlimited water bottles! Just fill it up and go! You can get distilled or sparking water. They offer coffee and tea too! The rooms are nice and clean! I highly recommend this hotel!

    My trip with a cousin and a nephew to NYC last March was for me, a sentimental journey. My cousin booked this hotel without knowing that I had not visited the 911 memorial since it was the gated-off Ground Zero in ashes. She got a room on the 8th floor which had a very good view of the memorial. This hotel is right there, a stone's throw away from the memorial, and on an early Sunday morning before heading to church, I walked to it. Words cannot fully describe the emotions that welled up in me walking around, taking in the quiet water sounds, reading names and looking for Todd Beamer's. The hotel itself is very chic and adorable. Hallways are tiny, like in Tokyo. I loved the water stations where empty water bottles are provided, as well as filtered water. It is definitely a boutique hotel with fashionable and friendly front desk staff. There's a penthouse restaurant, too. The suite room itself was efficiently designed, using space well, like in Japan. Classy appointments - two sinks, both with granite countertops, L-shaped desk with outlets is like a room divider, floor-to-ceiling windows with heavy drapery, mini kitchenette, shower only (no tub) bathroom, two large closets, separate living room that has a pullout sofa, the window of which faces the memorial view with the tower. I have already told my husband I want to stay there with him next time!

    5 stars all the way! This hotel blew me away. It had everything I needed. Check in was swift and staff were efficient and friendly. This hotel is in pristine condition and is beautiful even down to the hallways leading to the rooms. I must say they have all the proper protocols in place to deal with covid which was great to see. I stayed in the superior room with kitchenette and microwave. My room was pretty much a suite. I even had a living room space. The bed was the most comfortable mattress I have slept on inside of a hotel in a long time. I just melted into it. The best part was the incredible view of the world trade center right across the street! The room had a door that opened into a slight balcony. I couldn't stop oogling over the incredible view I had. I couldn't ask for more with this hotel, it was a superb experience!

    The mattress had an enormous sinkhole in its center the size of my torso. My sister and I both sunk in so deeply to the middle that neither of slept well the night before our half marathon. We discovered the divet at 10 PM and decided against changing rooms since it was so late and we had to wake up early, and that was a huge mistake since neither of us got restful sleep. We only chose to stay here as a convenient, safe place to sleep, and unfortunately it did not provide that, and we can't recommend it to anyone. If you're assigned room 313, immediately request a different one!

    We had to wait 30 minutes after the check in (15:00) to get the room. The answer from team club quarters that the check in at 15:00 isn't guaranteed. In their website and their policy indicates 15:00 check in, it doesn't indicate that hours may vary. Front desk didn't even apologize for the delay. The room had dirty soap in the bathroom, socks from old guests under the bed. I was traveling with my toddler and we stayed in the 6 floor and the lock for window door wasn't working at all. So I had to put the chair in front door of it so I can take a shower without worry. Marlene (I believe was her name) in the front desk isn't welcoming and her body language is even disrespectful. I wouldn't stay here again. Good location but there are more better hotels around.

    Friendly staff and great view! I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to NYC and this hotel was wonderful. My only complaint would be that the neighboring rooms were very loud. Otherwise the room was clean, bed was comfortable, tv was nice and the shower was nice and warm. Overall 5/5 stars and would love to stay here again in the future, though the prices have gone up since my last stay (04/21/2021-04/24/2021) it has gone up around $200 more for the whole trip compared to last trip.

    This is my go to hotel when I'm staying in Lower Manhattan. The rooms are small but that is standard for what you'll find in NY. It's a perfect location for when you want to still be able to go to all the touristy spots but don't want to stay in the craziness of midtown. Plus it's right across from One World Trade Center. There is a restaurant inside. On my last night I stopped there for a couple appetizers and one drink and while there met some great people at the bar and ended up staying for dinner. The food was actually really good. If you're looking for a fancy hotel while in NY, this isn't it. But it's clean, close to the subway, easy walk to Brooklyn Bridge and seems to be a safe location. I have stayed here by myself and walked throughout the area. NYPD command station is right next door.

    Hotel was clean and decent! I loved the view from my room. The hotel has a snack and water area! The room was really small for the price but I guess that's expected for New York. The area was amazing! Close to the 9/11 museum, a mall, and subway! My only complaint- Our room smelled like vomit and the heater was broken. We had to use a portable heater and it was freezing! The the manager gave me a $40 discount due to the heater being broken. Staff was nice and friendly! Would stay here again!!

For this Marriott the location is excellent if you are going to watch a show on Broadway. Very convenient for the play and also get a subway to anywhere else you have to go. The rooms are generally very nice and this hotel also has everything connected and controlled through a tablet which is very appealing to me. They also have a nice bar right in the hotel that is open till late. The only downside is the size. Now hotels in major cities like this like New York or Tokyo are small and pricey. Two things that can sort of negatively affect your opinion but considering they are all like that in the area, you have to compare accordingly. The only real downside for me is that the toilet is literally next to to the shower to the point that you could shower while using the toilet (I took a picture of my hand holding the shower handle on top of the toilet seat as a joke) and the sink is outside to wash your hands after using the restroom. I feel that they could have done a better design for this to avoid it. It didn't appeal to me and it's the only thing keeping me from giving this hotel 5 stars. I will probably stay here again when I go to watch another play.

We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff helped make the stay feel special. The front desk and door staff were consistently helpful and welcoming. Our rooms were excellent, with a great view, comfortable beds, and a lot of thoughtful sustainability features. I especially liked that all of the water in the hotel is filtered.

You enter on the first floor, but the lobby is on the sixth floor. I was having flashbacks to Tokyo... There are four elevators, and when I checked in, the place was packed. Some event must have been going on because getting an elevator was an adventure (a sad one). It didn't help that everyone had to take an elevator just to reach the lobby, then another to get to their room. Fortunately, I was only on the ninth floor...so I got my steps in. The room itself was mostly ok. One thing I really didn't like was the air conditioning. It wouldn't cool below 68 degrees. I despise hotels that throttle the A/C. I'd get warm, the air would finally kick on, I'd be comfortable for about ten minutes...then the cycle would repeat all night. Another thing that caught me off guard was the ceiling. Maybe they're going for an industrial look, but it was basically unfinished concrete. Other than those complaints, everything else in the room was perfectly acceptable, and for a one night stay, it did the job.

The Library Hotel is every bit as charming as people say, but what really makes it special is the team.

Housekeeping was so gracious and helpful throughout my stay, the bartender at Bookmarks very kindly helped my friend carry our drinks down to the room, and checkout took less than 30 seconds. Every interaction was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. The themed rooms are such a fun touch (I loved seeing how each one was inspired by a different subject), but I also have to give a shout-out to the practical things. I took a few work video calls from my room on the 12th floor, and the Wi-Fi was ridiculously good - honestly stronger than the Wi-Fi in my own house when I'm sitting five feet from the modem.
