Hotel is great placement to hop on the subway and make your way around town. I would definitely come back again but would definitely need a cleaner room.

Hotel is in the heart of the Financial District. A little far walking distance from all the main attractions. We enjoyed it being far away from TS. Subway very accessible. Would recommend.
