My wife and I are New Yorkers and our wedding party stayed here when we got married in Brooklyn several years ago. We've been coming back every year since to celebrate as a little "staycation" and we enjoy our time here immensely. I highly recommend the terrace rooms (and making sure you buy a bottle of wine or bring a book and take time to enjoy it). The view of local skyscrapers, the cobblestone streets below, and Brooklyn across the East River are beautiful. A bunch of great little restaurants, pubs, and wine bars are nearby, and even though the hotel is so close to the Seaport, the hotel and immediate area are not inundated with crowds. Last summer, we walked a few minutes to the nearby ferry to Governor's Island, for a tour and a special musical event that was taking place. And a stop at The Paris, one of NYC's oldest pubs, for a beer and dinner at the historic Bridge Cafe, are both mandatory! You can even walk across the Brooklyn Bridge if you're in the mood. The staff here has been consistently friendly and helpful, and the free breakfast items in the morning are an extra bonus. This hotel is really a hidden gem in this city, I have to say, and that's not a term I use often.

My husband, son and I stayed here for a couple of days in December. We arrived before check-in time and we were able to use their bag check facilities and sight-see until we were able to check-in. It gave us more time to enjoy the city without having to drag our luggage with us. The rooms were large,clean, and comfortable. Breakfast is included and there were many fresh pastries and bagels from the area as well as juice, hot beverages, hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt, waffles and a few other things. The hotel itself is located close to the historic Pier 17 where there are many shops and restaurants as well as the Seaport Museum. There are interesting places to visit in the area (Battery Park, Trinity Church, the Financial District,etc,)which are all in walking distance of the hotel. Also, the Brooklyn Bridge and City Hall are close to this area as well. We took advantage of the convenient subway stops close to the hotel (about an 8-minute walk) (Fulton St.and City Hall). We will definitely return to this hotel on our next visit.

My wife, 2 daughters ages 7.5 & 6, and i stayed here Dec 27 & 28. We arrived around 11 am and were surprised that our room was ready and we were able to check in early. They do offer bag check if your room isn't ready and have a lobby restroom. We had a king bed w a pull out sofa. The room wasn't big, but was large enough to accomodate us comfortably, it was clean and NO beg bugs! The front desk personel were all very nice and helpful. A breakfast is included, which is more than just juice and danishes, and included fruit, juice, bagels, cereal, coffee, belgium wafels, yogurt, and probably a few other things. The dining area is rather small, so you may need to wait for a table or take it back to your room. The location is great for exploring downtown or escaping from midtown. The seaport is right next door, the brooklyn bridge is just a few blocks away - great views of the bridge just a short walk away, the world trade center, wall street, battery park - all within walking distance. We started our day with coffee from Jack's Stir Brew a block away. There is a good italian restaurant almost right next door - "Acqua" - good food, reasonable prices, nice atmosphere. I will most likely return here in the spring for another visit.

This was our second trip to New York this year, in February we stayed near Times Square which we found a bit too busy.

The area around the Seaport Inn is wonderful - full of excellent places to eat and drink with cobbled streets and sufficent shopping. It is only about an 8 minute walk to the nearest subway station so getting around is easy. The bus stop is just at the end of the slip.

The hotel was very nice, good breakfast in the morning and very helpful staff, room was a very decent size for New York. They are doing some development work at Peck Slip which will make the area even better - this does cause a bit of building work noise but it did not bother us at all.

We will stay at this hotel again on our next trip to New York
