햄프턴 인 맨해튼/다운타운 - 파이낸셜 디스트릭트, 뉴욕

Convenient location for Fraunces Tavern or Staten Island Ferries but not much else. Ok prices for NY but probably would pick Tines Square to Central Park area next time for a bit more $. Rating decreased because 1 of 2 rooms had no working AC,

I spent hours researching hotels in Manhattan for my first-ever trip to NYC before deciding on this one that fit my budget. It is a few minutes walk from the R line that takes you to Times Square and Central Park (and to within a couple miles of LGA) and just a few minutes walk from another line we didn't use to go other places. It is steps away from the Staten Island ferry, 10-15 minutes walk to the 9/11 Memorial, and the famous Wall St. bull is right up the street. A couple minutes away is a drug store where you can load up on water and snacks. Chipotle and TGI Friday's is nearby, as well as an assortment of pubs. The included breakfast here is the best I've ever had: scrambled eggs, omelettes, bacon, ham, sausage, and all the other breakfast items you'd expect. The room was very clean, maid service perfect, and front desk helpful.

We had requested a high floor and the highest they could offer was the 4th which was actually OK as it is on a quietish one-way street. However the next time I book I will ask to be situated away from the ice machine as it was opposite our door and was very noisy running on and off all night. The room was perfectly adequate for a city break - we literally just slept in the bed and showered in the bathroom - we didn't spend any time in the room or hotel. The shower is a huge walk in and in very good condition. There was a large TV but no fridge. Location is superb you can walk everywhere and if you need to go further there is a subway station right outside.

Our stay here was a disaster. The room we were given was a handicap accessible room right behind the front desk. As the hotel was sold out, there was no other option. The room had a double bed rather than the king-sized bed I paid for. The worst of it was the noise. With paper-thin walls and doors, every sound carried into the room from the corridor and from the front lobby and from the breakfast area. Because it was a handicap room, there was no separation of the shower to the bathroom which meant that the bathroom floor got very wet when you took a shower. The room was clean, but that was the best that could be said about it.

Service was excellent. Room was very small. Older building. Not what I am use to with a Hamilton Inn.
