World Center Hotel

Astonished at all the facilities offered on the landing (the drawer full of useful things that a traveller might have forgotten), and the facilities for food preparation and storage within the room. Location perfect for my pilgrimage to the former Ground Zero, view OK and everything within the room good, EXCEPT that I could not work out how to switch the lights over the head of the bed on and off.

We needed one night between JFK and EWR so the location was ideal. It takes around 1 hour to each airport. The train station from which you can take a train to EWR is just a few minutes away. The USB converter was a nice surprise, as we had only one US charger. Very clean and comfortable beds.

We stayed here for a long weekend with friends. I chose this hotel for the location and I’m glad I did. It’s a short walk to the 911 Memorial, the Mercer experience, and Battery Park and it’s an easy subway ride to Broadway and Times Square. We felt completely safe walking around late at night. I appreciate that it’s in a quiet area. It was great to get out of the shoulder to shoulder people and horrendous traffic. I love New York but sometimes it can be a bit much and it’s great to Decompress and this area is great for that. The hotel is a bit dated but who cares. It was clean and the beds were gloriously comfortable after a long day. We did not eat at either restaurant but we did have a cocktail in the rooftop lounge. The cocktails were amazing! They were on the expensive side. $57.00 for two drinks before gratuity. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
