We are a family of 3 adults and we stayed for 4 nights at the Seaport Inn just before Christmas 2011. We had heard of the fantastic views of the Brooklyn Bridge from some of the rooms, however when we arrived the whole facade of the hotel was covered with scaffolding and canvas - alas, no view from any rooms! Whilst we were disappointed by this, that was our only disappointment with this hotel. The rooms were very clean, spacious and well appointed - the whole hotel had a feel of yesteryear and was very quaint and homely. Breakfast was included and there was a nice selection of breads and cereals on offer.
Home made cookies were baked and available in the lobby every afternoon and the staff were friendly and courteous.
We loved the Seaport area because we were spoilt for choice of really good value restaurants and it was reasonably easy to get around by public transport- the nearest subway was Fulton St, about a 7-10 min walk.

For a weekend getaway my wife and I stayed at this hotel located 2 blocks noth of South Street Seaport. It was a very cold weekend so there was not much foot traffic around when we stayed there. We also had a car but lucked out and found free parking on one of the streets around the corner from the hotel. For public transportation lovers, the hotel is a 10 to fifteen minute walk from the nearest subway station, however cabs are relatively easy to find. The hotel itself is fairly standard, but the rooms were very clean and confortable. They also offer free breakfast although we opted to grab brunch on our own a short distance away in the Lower East Side. For the price we paid the hotel was very good value but I wasn't that crazy about the location so I only gave this place a three.

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.
