Reply To: Manhattan hotel choice

[ChrisC]

I always stay in lower Manhatten. Hotel rooms do tend to be bigger or better valie (especially on the weekend) and it’s a quieter part of the city with less panhandlers and hawkers

Subway links to midtown are still good and it’s only 10-15 mins extra each way to midtown and things like the Met and MOMA etc

Also Lower Manhatten is closer to things like the WTC Memorial & Museum and the ferry to the Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island as well as the Statten Island Ferry and the Brooklyn Bridge should you choose to walk across it.
