Over Priced

Hotel was neat and clean. Staff was very nice and helpful. I thought staying downtown would be nice but it is really out of the way from everything besides the statue of liberty. When i booked the room it was to my understanding you can see the statue from the room but we were not up high enough. The construction at ground zero was VERY loud even when you are 17 floors up! Our ice machine on the floor was broken so we had to go to another floor and use theirs. I thought the room was over priced. It wasn't what i was expecting for the price i paid. And i didn't like the no "in-out" privileges with our car. 55 dollars a day to park is just crazy! Other hotels are about 40 a day. And if you pick up anything from the mini bar-even if you don't use it you still get charged. That's ridiculous! I don't think i will be staying at any more Hiltons. No wifi in the rooms in a high class hotel is another downfall! And it was $15 dollars to use the internet for 24 hours in the room. The prices are crazy!
Great hotel for an equally great price.

My boyfriend and I just stayed here for two nights and we were beyond amazed with everything. The hotel was beautiful and we were taken care of very well. We had a city view room on the 31st floor and the view was beautiful. We could look directly into ground zero, which was interesting to see, and along with the buildings and water it was all quite lovely. There was some noise from the construction in the morning, but it wasn't much louder than regular busy city noise, so we weren't bothered by it at all. Everything was clean and polished perfectly. The bed and pillows were soooo comfortable we wanted to take the whole bed home with us! It was great to collapse in bed after walking around the city for 14 hours. We had such a great time and will DEFINITELY stay at this hotel again.
Unforgettable

Wonderful Hotel, The most amazing view of the business district, New Jersey, and the Statue of Liberty. Service was great. I did not pay the $ up front for all the extra services. Nights are pretty desolate, but it is the business district. However, the subway stop is just at the foot of the hotel so its no problem to get to other part of the city. Wonderful facilities, pool, gym, and restaurant. Would definitely book again. Some noise from construction from ground Zero, but it is still amazing to see them working.
Good stay

We stayed in a junior suite on the 36th floor directly across from Ground Zero and we loved it...but I think it is because we were up so high and that on Friday July 4th no construction was going on.
The suite was great: corner window for the parents and a foldable sofa for the kids with their own TV in the main room (common bathroom between the rooms). We watched the fireworks from up there!
The restaurant was pretty good and the pool was clean and very very nice (there is a small sauna as well).
The concierge was not too helpful as far as tips for local breakfast place.
Don't stay here - thank me later!!!

The construction noise made it the value of this hotel close to zero. We had added a weekend stay to a business trip, but the construction just kept going. We had no warning ahead of time. I will never ever stay here again. While the amenities and rooms are nice, it does not make up for nights with no sleep. I'd rather sleep in a one star hotel. I cannot believe this hotel is even open given the noise. The construction went on all night!!!
