A good experience. Location, breakfast and staff all great. Room was comfortable but fairly small and unremarkable.

DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown
The hotel was great and the staff were very helpful, however the elevators are terrible. We had to wait for 15 minutes to go down to the ground floor so take that into consideration when you need to be somewhere. Also if you are looking to get Hilton points then book direct. I have lost 5 nights ...
