Great get-a-way

Fabulous location for lower Manhattan. Plenty of interesting historical sights. If you are interested in progress of the World Trade Center you are steps away. Great spot for full access to the Fulton subway station which can get you to almost anywhere in Manhattan.

Great deal in prime location

This hotel was clean, a decent size for NYC and had all the needed amenities. My only complaint is that this is a very busy area. I used to live in NY so don't need to be right in the center of the action. If you don't go very often and like to be in the center of all the activity this is the place for you.

Great hotel!

Hotel is next to the 911 Memorial. Although there is alot of construction we could not hear any of it on the 14th floor - slept soundly all 3 nights. Each floor has a 'linen cloest' for extra towels, soap, coffee, ironing board etc. plus free bottled water in the hallway. Overall this is a great place to stay with very friendly staff.

Cabs to uptown are expensive. The subway is one block, is safe and 1/10th of the price.

Great Trip

Really enjoyed our stay. Hotel has great amenities with the kitchenette(basically small fridge, sink, microwave and cupboards). Free coffee (including lattes and espresso!) pop and snacks for "club" members). Front desk was very helpful. Gym was okay treadmill but this is NYC so we were otherwise busy and not focused on working out :)) Kevin at the front desk was very helpful and knowledgeable. Great value for the money. A little upgrade money went a long way.

NYC Trip 7/2012

Overall I would give it a 7, the location was a little hard to find because of construction of the WTC. I would recommend that they make that known to people. The ice machine was on the third floor while my room was on the 16th floor, and for extra pillows and blankets you had to use a community closet that was not stocked. Dinning was good with good veiw of WTC site, and no mini store for forgotten items. I would recommend, but not as a first choice.

Fantastic Vacation Location

My wife and I went to New York for the first time. We stayed here at the World Center. All we can say is AMAZING! Location is right by the 9/11 memorial and World Trade Center site. We had a view of the site from our hotel which was breathtaking. The room was very clean and comfortable possibly a little small but we weren't there to be in the hotel. However we will go back to this hotel for sure. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful with all our questions being our first trip here. Very affordable and we would recommend to everyone.

Make sure if you want to see the sights get a Grayline bus tour ticket for 48 hrs unlimited hop on hop off. Great value and it takes you everywhere just $54 each and boy was it worth the money. It's normally $44 each tour. We took all 3 and only had to pay the $54.

Great for an overnight date in the city

It served its purpose - a respectable, clean room with a tidy desk and a nice big door/window for an occasional gush of fresh air when needed.
