Assuming you’re staying over a weekend… I’d suggest staying near the Seaport (southern end of Manhattan near Wall Street)—either the courtyard, four points or Fairfield.

Reasoning: hotels are nice because they cater to the Wall Street crowd, but their weekend rates are low as the Wall Street folks go home on weekends. Also, they’re near pier 11 (ferry hub), Fulton (lots of subway options), and a short walk from the WTC (more subway options and the PATH). With all those options for transit, you’re just a short subway/ferry ride away from most attractions and you probably won’t ever need to set foot in a cab. Plus the Seaport district is just plain fun!

The Fairfield in seaport is awful. Avoid at all costs. Stained sheets, dirty floor, no sunlight in the rooms, tiny bathroom.

You only live once! IBM Go stay at the Pendry in Manhattan West!

Looks amazing but out of my desired price range! Will add it to the bucket list for next time.

The Long Island City Courtyard is decent and just off the subway. 10 minutes to the city.

How much/how many points per night do you want to spend? I love the W Union Square, the Maxwell, and the Lexington. All are East side properties in slightly different neighborhoods.

Agreed. The renaissance down there is the best I think (three years ago it was when I was traveling)… avoid the Fairfield inn at all costs

I lived at Four Points Sheraton and was pretty close to everything downtown
