The hotel is in a nice area. Has restaurants within walking distance on the water. Can walk easily to the subway to go uptown if you want. Easy to catch a taxi at the Hotel. The only complaint that I have is that the walls of the rooms are thin, so you can hear every sound that a neighboring room is doing. Then they complained about us in the morning when my kids got up and were a little loud. Otherwise, a good place to stay!

Although a bit out off main subway accessibility (about a 6-8 minute walk to Chambers St, the nearest line), E.S. was a good value, especially if you have kids and need the extra room (and extra TV). Breakfast was good, varied, and plentiful. Drinks and munchies at cocktail time were a nice touch, although very spartan.

We traveled to New York with our three teenagers and were very pleased with our room and were especially happy about the full all-you-can- eat breakfast ! The staff couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant , the concierge especially so, and the beds and linens were very comfortable.

IWe loved the location! The room was nice. The breakfast was very good except for the scrambled eggs-awful. Staff was helpful and courteous. It was in the Financial District, next to Meryl Lynch and very close to Ground Zero, very sad. Great places to eat near by and a movie theater with access through second floor of hotel. The pizza place was great, the sushi place was fabulous but the corner deli...... not good, not even the rice crispy treats. There is a mall in the Meryl Lynch building and a harbor just beyond.

Great hotel. Room, location, walk along Hudson to Battery Park just beautiful. Staff does a terrific job and food is excellent. Location is quiet and yet is easy to get to other parts of the city. If you park here make sure you know the consequences of a poor and careless valet.
