Getting to this hotel from the NJ Turnpike is very easy. I hate driving in NYC, but it was just a few turns off the Holland Tunnel and we were there. Everyone at the hotel was very pleasant on our arrival, and even though most hotels don't let you check in until 3 or 4pm, our room was ready when we arrived just before 1pm and we were allowed to check in.
The prices are decent compared to other NYC hotels, and if you're going to book a room here, go online first and join Grand Guests. You will save at least 10% off the lowest internet rate just for doing this, and they also have special offers and packages for Grand Guests that could save you even more.
Because I signed up for Grand Guest, I was treated as a repeat customer, which meant that I was given a free continental breakfast (with bread from my favorite NYC bread shop, Le Pain Quotidien), with juice and coffee for both myself and my husband.
Unique Qualities: The design inside of the hotel is very industrial and funky. The rooms themselves are kind of plain, but well decorated with unique furniture and white and chocolate linens. The pillows are dense feather pillows that are cool and comfortable. Each room has a flat-screen TV and a Bose system, with CDs in the room for you to use during your stay. they also have an in-room safe, and a DVD player.
One of most unique things about this hotel (and its sister hotel, the Tribeca Grand) is that they will give you a goldfish to keep with you in your room while you are there. They also allow pets and will bring doggie necessities, or even a litter box for your cat. They even have stuff on the room service menu for your pets.
