DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown

The room was terrifyingly small, I couldn't even stretch my legs. The elevator was ancient and incredibly slow. This is the worst Hilton I've ever stayed in. I strongly do not recommend it.

1. The service was exceptionally poor. I was charged $75 for a 40-minute late check-out. 2. Soundproofing was terrible. I could clearly hear knocking and flushing sounds from the adjacent room, along with various other noises. 3. The room was extremely small. A queen-sized bed for one adult and one child was very uncomfortable. What they call a queen room here is equivalent to a standard twin room in most hotels. 4. The amenities were basic. There wasn't even a vanity counter by the sink; the toothbrushes had to be placed directly on the basin.

Overall, it was a great experience staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton New York Financial District this time. The hotel is ideally located in the Financial District, just a few minutes' walk from the Charging Bull and Battery Park, and also close to the Statue of Liberty ferry terminal. The front desk staff were very friendly, and the complimentary signature warm chocolate chip cookie was delicious and fragrant. The room was clean and comfortable, the bedding was just right – not too soft, not too hard – and it was very quiet at night. The free Wi-Fi in the lobby was fast. There are many subway lines nearby, making it convenient for getting around. For Manhattan, the value for money is excellent, and I would definitely choose to stay here again!

The location is great, with multiple subway stations right outside the door, putting it right in the heart of downtown. It's just a stone's throw from the Wall Street Charging Bull, and Battery Park is just across the street where you can easily catch a ferry. The room isn't small, and for this price in New York, it even includes breakfast, which is excellent value for money.

This hotel is located in the heart of the Financial Street business district, close to Wall Street and the subway, offering convenient access to shopping and dining. The guest rooms feature a refrigerator, microwave, and Serta mattress throughout, and the hotel is pet-friendly. Guests can enjoy a complimentary breakfast buffet, a 24-hour gym, a self-service laundry room, and free parking.

The room is really small, and the air conditioning in this particular room is quite noisy, so light sleepers should be aware. The window offers a nice river view, which is a plus. I stayed for two nights, then went to Boston, and will be returning to stay another four nights. The hotel offers luggage storage, but it's only for the day; you have to pick it up by the end of the day, even if you have a future reservation. This really messed up our plans. We thought we could store our luggage overnight (the Hilton in San Francisco allows overnight storage), but we couldn't. We ended up having to drag two large suitcases to Boston and back, which was incredibly inconvenient.
