Decent Central Lodging

central locationadvantageous locationdifficult accessearly checkout

The hotel location is amazing. It is very close to the twin towers! I could easily walk to many historical places. The city center prohibits certain traffic during the day, so this location is advantageous.

Finding and accessing the hotel proved a little difficult. The room felt rather small however it was quiet. Check out time is 10:30 AM which seems quite early. they permitted us to leave our luggage.
