8/10 Good
"This hotel is located in the Financial District just steps away from the 9/11 memorial. From our room we had a grandiose view of both the WTC and the memorial, which is the major upside of this property. The hotel and its rooms are a bit of a mixed bag. It's an alright hotel, but our room was in desperate need of maintenance, years of neglect have left the room looking tired and battle-scarred. It didn't stop us from having a good night's sleep, housekeeping ensured that things were clean and pleasant."
