Recently, I stayed at a large chain hotel in Manhattan that was poor at best. So, I did some research and found Lyric 70 @ Pine. This apartment unit hotel met all my expectations. Huge rooms. Well appointed for extended stays with decent kitchens. Access to many nearby markets, restaurants, etc. Good fitness facilities. Friendly and helpful staff. I can go on, but need not. All I have to say is that I have to be in Manhattan on and off over the next couple of years and Lyric will be me home each time.

We booked this when it was called Q&A for a last minute trip. We chose it due to the larger rooms and apartment feel and got exactly that. The room was quiet for NYC and we loved the financial district area. Short walk to the 9/11 memorial and subway. There is a great pub/restaurant opposite and a supermarket below for any grocery needs. The coffee place below the apartments within 70 Pine was quirky but an extortionate hipster type place and rather budget breaking for a regular caffeine fix...! There are plenty of other coffee shops only a short walk away.
Staff on reception were helpful and lovely.
The building is a stunning Art Deco sky scraper and I adored the deco feel to the lobby and elevators. The cleaning of the rooms could do with better checking by management but fine for a short trip.
I would stay here again.

We stayed 5 nights over the Easter weekend - when the hotel was still called Q&A Residential, before its rebirth. It was a wonderful choice for us - spacious, modern, sleek and well-equipped. When visiting NYC we always tend to stay in the Financial District or Soho/Tribeca in order to avoid the tourist madness elsewhere. Lyric is ideal because it's really quiet yet the Wall Street subway is right there and you can be in Times Square in no time at all via an express train. Plus you can walk to so many places of interest from the hotel. The TKTS South Street theatre ticket booth is literally 5 minutes' walk away. There's also a pretty good deli/grocery store underneath the hotel. We had relatively little interaction with the friendly staff but that's a good indicator of a successful stay I'd say.

I highly recommend Lyric and hope to return.
