The Wall Street Inn

Really good sized room, comfortable bed, great shower. The hotel was not too big (only 7 floors)and was not commercial. Breakfast was served from 7am to 10am so it was possible to have an early breakfast and get on with my day. Breakfast was a selection of cereals and toast, tea and coffee - no juice, fruit, yoghurt or cooked options - and was self service, although I liked that you didn't have to wait. You could get tea, coffee and water all day (no tea-making facilities in the rooms) and there was also a handy vending machine to get soft drinks and chocolate. The room had a safe, a fridge, and air con (which was much needed!). Lots of towels provided (I counted 8!), and the shampoo, conditioner, soap and moisturiser provided were really nice, and topped up throughout the stay. Brilliant location for downtown attractions, access to the Greenway, several subway stations very close by - a subway journey up to mid town on the express took no more than 30 minutes, and the local train to mid-Central Park West side did not take much longer. There are lots of places to eat and drink nearby, either as a sit down meal or for somewhere just to grab something to take away (the wraps at Garden City Deli were amazing!). The street at the back of the hotel (outside Ulysses) got busy and lively at night - I was on the 3rd floor, overlooking Ulysses, and did not find the noise to be intrusive - it was good to hear people out, having fun. Not luxury, but a really good base with all the comforts needed and away from the crowds of mid-town. All the staff I saw and spoke to were friendly and pleasant and reception ordered me a taxi to the airport when I checked out.

From the time I entered the hotel I felt welcomed. The ability to drop off your bag until check in helps as you can do other things until check in time. The check in process was easy. The room was cosy and had everything we needed. It is located near to eating places and subways. The wi-fi was good for what I needed it for which was to keep in touch with my family. The hotel was clean in general and housekeeping was very efficient.

Lovely stay at Wall Street Inn. Staff were helpful and the continental breakfast was perfect to get started for the day. Nice reception area where we were able to meet friends. Good for exploring downtown.

The bedrooms were large and had two queen beds with a desk inbetween and TV console which housed a mini fridge and drawers. It is an old building which is what I liked and we were on the 5th floor, room 503 and my brother in law and nephew were in 506, their room was very similar to ours in size. There was not much of a view as the building had scaffolding round it but that didn't bother us as we spent most of the time out and about. The staff were great, very helpful with regards to booking transport and any other questions. The breakfast was fairly good considering it is free, there were individually wrapped croissants and pain au chocolate, bread, yogurts, cereal and make your own waffles. The hotel is close to lots of bars and we found a loveli Deli and newly opened small supermarket selling hot and cold food round the corner. I also needed cold sore cream and a pharamcy was just round the block although I would advise taking your own cold sore cream as the prices were extortionate! The 9/11 memorial and Occulus were a 10 minte walk and the Governers Island Ferry terminal was 5 mins away. We were very pleased with the hotel and I would stay there again if I go back to New York. The beds were very comfy, I normally don't sleep very well as I have problems with my neck but the cushions were lovely and squishy and different sizes and the mattress was nice and firm with no sagging which happens a lot in hotels. The cleaning staff were also very nice and helpful especially when I had trouble with my room card, one of them called the desk to tell them to get me a new one.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great location near restaurants and bars, subway station is about 200 yard walk. Beautiful old style decor, large comfortable bed and very good shower. Coffee available at any time in lobby area. Rooms kept very clean. Lovely comfortable lobby area.
