Having been frustrated by the outrageous rates for midtown/soho hotels..$300 US for a DAYS INN???? I was really pleased to obtain a rate of $199 on the Millenium Hilton website.
This hotel was completely refurbished a few years back due to 9-11 and looks pretty good. Modern lobby but not so much that it threatens the tourist masses. Hotel was busy but no much that we got an upgrade to a larger room.
The Hotel is located right across the world trade centre site so that could be good or bad depending on your view...also hotel is not located in a happening area so you need to taxi or subway it everywhere..but since I love to walk and travel like a local the subway worked well for us. The Subway station is right next to the hotel and within 15 mins you can be in Soho, Meatpacking Dist. or midtown.
My one beef was about the beds. Hilton has installed new beds that are supposed to trump the offering at Westin and W's however I must say the new Hilton beds suck..they are so soft that my back ached for a couple of hours each morning. They were so soft that it takes 15 mins just to get out of them..not sure if all beds in the hotel are like that but for someone (like me) that enjoys stiff mattresses it was bad.
Another tip - unless it is included skip the breakfast at the hotel..pricey and substandard..there are far too many choices in NYC to spend your hard earned breakfast dollars here.
Unique Qualities: Great weekend rates if you want good quality at a reasonable price.
