Millenium Hilton

Sleek Lower Manhattan Hotel

Although not near the center of New York's tourist activities (i.e. Times Square, Midtown) this hotel has much to offer visitors, even families. It is near to several subway lines and bus stops and areas of interest like the Financial District, South St. Seaport, Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, to name a few.
There are only about 11 rooms on each floor but there are over 50 floors and rooms on the upper floors offer world-class views of different areas of NYC, depending on the direction they are facing. (interesting side note: it is listed among the 10 tallest hotels in the U.S.) Another feature very few Manhattan hotels have- a nice swimming pool! On the 5th floor overlooking Pt. Paul's church next door.
And it frequently offers better rates compared to the more tourist-frequented hotels in the Midtown area.

Terrific place in Financial District

Extraordinary views (ask for an upper floor) with really comfortable beds and linens. Great towels in the clean bath. Concierage is very helpful, bellmen efficient. Hotel really quiet (not sure why people say that staying here will construction is going on at the WTC site has been uncomfortably noisy. We didn't hear anything, either from the site, the rooms next door or the elevator/hallway). Check online rates, then call the hotel for the same price - the front desk was very helpful.

Unique Quality: View - from any window, any floor. From the Brooklyn Bridge to Statue of Liberty. Extra large windows in the rooms make it the best possible (and on the 51st floor - no one will see in!)

Very nice place

This place is very warm and inviting. If you don't feel comfortable here, you won't feel comfortable anywhere. Very pleasant staff and good food all around. Relatively mid-range for costs and it is worth every penny!

One of my favorite NYC hotels

This is one of my favorite places in the city. I usually only come here for special occations and as such get treated very well from the staff. I have never failed to get an upgrade as a diamond here.

Downtown's Best Hotel

*Comfort
*Style
*Class
*Helpful
*Welcoming

All these words come to mind when talking about the Millenium Hilton. I must admit it was a little pricey, but it was my first time in NYC for my 18th so my parents treated me, although next time i go i will not be able to afford it!! But still very worth the money.

Unique Quality: *Swimming Pool
*Next door to twin towers R.I.P.
*Short distance from China Town :-)
*Great views
*Easy access to subway

Good deal..for Manhattan that is!

Having been frustrated by the outrageous rates for midtown/soho hotels..$300 US for a DAYS INN???? I was really pleased to obtain a rate of $199 on the Millenium Hilton website.
This hotel was completely refurbished a few years back due to 9-11 and looks pretty good. Modern lobby but not so much that it threatens the tourist masses. Hotel was busy but no much that we got an upgrade to a larger room.
The Hotel is located right across the world trade centre site so that could be good or bad depending on your view...also hotel is not located in a happening area so you need to taxi or subway it everywhere..but since I love to walk and travel like a local the subway worked well for us. The Subway station is right next to the hotel and within 15 mins you can be in Soho, Meatpacking Dist. or midtown.

My one beef was about the beds. Hilton has installed new beds that are supposed to trump the offering at Westin and W's however I must say the new Hilton beds suck..they are so soft that my back ached for a couple of hours each morning. They were so soft that it takes 15 mins just to get out of them..not sure if all beds in the hotel are like that but for someone (like me) that enjoys stiff mattresses it was bad.

Another tip - unless it is included skip the breakfast at the hotel..pricey and substandard..there are far too many choices in NYC to spend your hard earned breakfast dollars here.

Unique Quality: Great weekend rates if you want good quality at a reasonable price.

Lower Manhattan Hotel

Our stay here was very pleasant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, and all amenities worked without a hitch (to include the plasma TV and safe)

Unique Quality: There are subway stations just outside every door of this hotel. It's far enough downtown that it isn't completely crazy 24/7, but within easy striking distance of the rest of the city via the excellent transportation systems. We got a deal on Orbitz, so the price wasn't bad either.

Well located, comfortable and classy

A most enjoyable stay in this stunning hotel - bedroom and bathroom large, stylish, comfortable and spotless with excellent facilities. Bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in, and Wow! that huge plasma TV!! Check-in and -out were easy and fast, transport is very simple with so many subway lines within 50 yards or so. Food/drink very pricey so we ate out - there are literally dozens of cafes and restaurants surrounding the hotel. Many sights and attractions are a short stroll away eg South St seaport, Battery Park & ferry terminal, City Hall, Wall St. This hotel does the Hilton chain proud, and is far superior to the over-priced, grubby hotels of midtown.

Unique Quality: Of course, your room will probably overlook Ground Zero which might not be everyone's first choice; I, however, found it inspiring to see the work begin on the new World Trade Center complex, which will surely stand as a beacon for freedom in the fight against terror and a tribute to the heroes of 9/11.
