I booked at the Hilton after arriving in NYC to find that the hotel I originally booked had been closed down the day before and not notified anyone. When I arrived at the Hilton about 30 mins later, I was able to check in early as there was a room ready!
The room was clean, had a microwave and fridge, bed was super comfy, and shower pressure was great. I could hear other guests doors opening and closing but I never heard anything from another room.
Front desk staff and housekeeping were wonderful, pleasant and friendly!
I was a solo female traveler and never felt unsafe, even though the financial district isn't busy at night. There are several subway stations within walking distance which was great! I went every I needed to go by just getting on at one of the stops near the hotel and going ... never had to change trains.
Lots of dining establishments within walking distance. I highly recommend The Dead Rabbit Pub and Frauces Tavern ... both are less than a block away.
