The hotel has a number of pros and cons, but overall would not be my top choice for staying in New York.

For me, the hotel location whilst reasonably convenient if you are doing business in the Financial District, feels a bit sketchy. It's a quiet street near the piers with minimal attractions in the immediate vicinity. The lobby itself is quite dismal (which seems to be a recurring theme with other Fairfield Inns I have visited).

The rooms themselves have nice decor and decently sized. Unfortunately, I was staying for a number of nights and the room I was given had an adjoining door to the next room. This meant that noise in the next room was amplified. The first evening was fine - although I could hear a female on the phone to someone this was no major disruption. However, on the second night I heard many males (at least 4) in the room next door who were coming in and out and taking calls through until the early hours of the morning. Given there were only a few rooms on each floor and their room faced the elevator. I did not fancy calling reception to solve the issue then and there. Fortunately, the next morning I spoke to reception they promptly changed my room to one on another floor with no adjoining door. This was a vastly different experience, but I would not necessarily a great hotel for female solo travelers.

There is also free breakfast buffet included, which has a decent selection of food and beverages which you can eat in the sitting area or take back to your room.

Overall the service is very friendly and prompt, the rooms are well appointed for the price, but unfortunately the layout doesn't necessarily feel particularly secure.

We had stayed at Fairfield Suites before, so thought we would try these in New York, as they were reasonably priced and breakfast was provided.

When we arrived it was late at night but our room was ready and the staff were helpful getting us to the room.

The room was large enough for us, but it is a shame they don't do the larger sized room for disabled guests.

Whilst the staff, breakfast and the bar were great, we were disappointed with three aspects.

We were disappointed that there was no safe in the room. We were also disappointed that our room had no natural daylight and that did drive us crazy after a couple of days.

The other issue was the large Housekeeping trolleys were in the corridor overnight, this meant that as a wheelchair user it was so difficult to get to the room. The only way was to push them in front of the lifts. Either way it was a fire hazard.
