"Wonderful "

"Great location for theatre fans. "

"Very well located, fast check in, nice bed and shower. Love the mattress. Definitely coming back. "

"It is centrally located and the gym is huge for a NYC hotel. On the flip, check in is long and you can’t use the Bonvoy App. They are also completing renovations so it’s dark. I can say that aside from check-in, everyone is quick to respond! "

"Best hotel I’ve stayed in a long while. Even though the rooms are not super big cause NYC, they are effectively designed and optimized. My favorite part was the cleanliness of the room, the coffee bar and rooftop bar! "

"If you are looking for a great place to stay away from this hustle of Times Square, head for FiDi - the Financial District - in Lower Manhattan. The DoubleTree Hilton on Stone Street is the perfect location; just a short walk to Battery Park for trips to the Statue of Liberty - or even better, the FREE Staten Island ferry which gives you the perfect view of Manhattan as you sail. The hotel is also just around the corner from the Wall Street Bull and is within walking distance of the World Trade Center. Close by are amenities you may need, not least a pharmacy, and plenty of places to eat. The hotel itself if stylish, the rooms having laminate floors instead of the traditional carpet which can often show staining. The rooms have fantastic air conditioning, very comfortable beds and, as I discovered right at the end of my three-day stay, a fridge in the desk drawer. Now that would’ve been nice to know earlier given it was 39C (102F) during my stay. As you enter the hotel, there is a place to leave your bags, should you be early, and for when you have time to take in more of New York before your flight home should it be later in the day. All in all, as you can no doubt tell, I would most certainly book another stay here next time I’m in town. "
