Fairfield Inn by Marriott New York Manhattan/Financial District

Great location for sightseeing in Brooklyn - just over the bridge which was closeby, the ferry to Staten Island / Statue of Liberty was also less than 10 minutes walk and Wall St. and the Financial District is on your doorstep. Easy walk up to Fulton St. Station for a quick subway ride to Midtown. A very safe, quiet area, great breakfast with loads of options and friendly staff.

As this was our first trip to New York, I'd say we picked a hotel with one of the best locations for New York first-timers! It's in the middle of Downtown New York, a large part of which is the Financial District. It seems like a very safe location to be, with the New York Stock Exchange, the 9/11 memorial, Trinity Church, and many other well-known NYC sites just around the corner. The hotel is located just across the street from the East River, almost on the shore, where amazing views of Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Bridge will remind you of all the movies you've ever seen set in New York. There are many nice bars around, as well as one of the most important subway stations (Fulton Street) that will take you anywhere you want to go within or outside of Manhattan. With the Brooklyn Bridge, Wall Street, and the start of Broadway just 3-5 minutes away on foot, we'd usually start our days walking towards Uptown, and then when we get tired, descend into the underground and catch a subway train to where we want to go. Keep walking North of the hotel, and you'll get to incredibly interesting, less posh neighborhoods, such as Chinatown, Korea Town, Little Italy, and Ukrainian Village, all with their own unique flavors, but still undeniably a part of Manhattan and New York - must see! The hotel itself looks rather old but very well preserved, as, to my surprise, most of Manhattan and its buildings. The staff is mostly very pleasant, friendly and helpful, especially Joel, who works at reception. Although we were initially supposed to be on one of the lower levels, we got an upgrade to our room from the kind staff, as they had some vacancies, and we got an amazing room on the 36th floor with an incredible view of the Financial District, giving the whole trip a whole new dimension! We spent most of our non-sleep time in the room staring out the windows. The room was tidy, and cleaned daily, the toilette was decent.

Incredibly nice and helpful staff! Our room was comfortable for two people. The bed was huge and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and nice. Everything was cleaned daily. Coffee, tea, ice water, and microwave were available for guests 24/7. Breakfasts were almost the same everyday but the quality of food was good and the variety made it possible to not eat the same thing everyday. Plant-based milk options were nice surprise for me. Location was perfect! Close to the subway and safe to walk even at night. We'll definitely come back!

We would definately book this hotel again as the room was very clean and quiet. Although we had a room next to the elevator, we did not hear a noise. The breakfast was also good: they had cornflakes, oats, toast, bagels, joghurt, nutella, omelettes, apples every day etc.... so everyone will find something to eat. A little bit more fruits would be nice but ok :-) The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is next to the waterfront and its lovely there - we normally stay near times square but this is wayyy better!!
