Review of 'EMBASSY SUITES DOWNTOWN'
25 September 2005
Accommodation tends to be very small and expensive in New York, but the suites at this hotel are roomy and good value for money. Our room was for 3 adults and consisted of 2 queen size beds in a bedroom and a queen size sofa bed in the living room. The beds are large and comfy, the bed linen excellent quality, 1 tv in each room, a safe, a table and 4 chairs, an occasional table, a sofa and an armchair, a microwave and coffee maker, hairdryer, bathrobes, reasonable toiletries, a bath with shower, nice towels. The price includes breakfast which was excellent - eat as much as you want and plenty of choice both hot and cold. In the evening, the bar is free for soft drinks and wine/beer/some spirits for 2 hours. The hotel is in the Battery Park area,downtown - we rode the subway, which was easy, felt safe and 2$ a ride. There is a taxi rank outside and the staff are excellent in calling a taxi at busy times when the rank is empty. Plenty of restaurants of all prices in the neighbourhood.Internet access is free in the lobby but the service wasn't reliable - often cutting out. Wireless internet access is available in the room but pricey at 10$ per day. Overall a good quality hotel,modern facilities, comfortable roomy accommodation at a value for money price(particularly in view of the excellent breakfast and free evening drinks) in a good safe neighbourhood. Would use this hotel for every NY trip from now on.
