“Excellent Stay in NYC”

We selected this hotel for its location and business we needed to attend to. It turned out to be better than we expected. This hotel has a boutique like feel. The staff is amazing and helpful.The room was small, as city hotels can be, but complete with necessary amenities. We loved being steps away from a subway line and a short walk from other stations. The Brooklyn bridge was walking distance as is the 911 memorial. The neighborhood is charming with great restaurants, pizza parlors and even a Trader Joe's. It is also steps away from SoHo. The staff recommended a private airport transfer company that was less expensive than Uber or Lyft. I recommend them if you need an airport transfer.We thoroughly appreciated our stay and it delivered far above what we paid in every way.

Older hotel but still a little gem. Spent 3 nights here recently and though it is a little older it’s not a bad hotel at all My initial room was a little cramped but I asked for them to change and they accommodated my request on the second night. The second room was much more spacious and open. As I was there on business it was also more conducive for work as it had great natural light and a big desk. It’s in a decent location and allowed me to access both downtown and over to Newark airport quite easily. The staff were awesome and really helpful. The couple of negatives, the initial room was small and cramped the second room although bigger had a missing cupboard door and there was quite a gap on the bottom of the door so a lot of light came in of a night time but nothing a rolled up towel couldn’t fix. All very small things in all. The king bed was super comfy. It’s also close to the ghostbusters hq building which was little nostalgic.

“Nice hotel, dangerously hot water, absurdist restaurant”

We stayed at the HGI Tribeca for the first time in several years and were reminded what a good choice it is.

We stayed at the HGI Tribeca for the first time in several years and were reminded what a good choice it is. The A/C/E subway is literally right outside the front door, the 1 is a block away, and the NQRW is less than 10 minutes easy walk. The room is fairly large by NYC standards. There is actually room for 2 people to walk around at the same time and there is space for your luggage -- both unusual for most Manhattan hotels! The bed was very comfy, although the pillows were terrible. We asked for a quiet room. They put us right by the elevators on the 5th floor, which we were initially unhappy about, but we really heard almost zero noise from the hallway. The view wasn't much, but I've had much worse at much more expensive NYC hotels, and best of all it was QUIET. The only noise we heard from outside was an occasional siren. Very quiet by NYC standards. The room was clean. Front desk staff was friendly. One note: the water in the bathroom is SCALDINGLY hot. I washed my hands as soon as we arrived and the water in the sink was boiling hot instantly. I yelped in pain. I really thought I was going to have blisters. My hands were painful and red the rest of the day, but fortunately no blisters. I am surprised they keep it so hot, because it seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. The breakfast restaurant is pretty abysmal. It's an Italian restaurant that I suspect was told by Hilton they have to serve breakfast to be in that space, but they are clearly unhappy about it. Due to time constraints followed by bad weather we had to eat there 4 out of our 5 days. We ordered the same thing every day, and the meals were radically different every day. I was brought 3 totally different types of bread in 4 days. The one I got twice was clearly bread left over from the previous day's dinner bread basket (oval and about the size of an egg). Another day I got square bread that was about 2/3 the size of normal bread. Only one day did I get something that looked like regular toast. We got 3 different kinds of potatoes in 4 days, and though the menu described them as roasted potatoes, they were actually frozen french fries. One day they brought me a can of Diet Coke and the next day I got a glass of totally flat Diet Coke that tasted like the dregs of a week-old 2-liter bottle. The servers were nice enough, but seemed confused. The whole experience was so incompetent it was actually kind of funny. I would recommend eating breakfast at one of the nearby diners or cafes rather than in the hotel unless you have an appreciation for theater of the absurd. Overall a very good hotel. Nothing fancy, but clean, comfy, and quiet, which is pretty much the best you can expect from NYC hotels. We would definitely stay there again.
