This was my first experience staying overnight in Manhattan, and it was awesome. The hotel was in a great location, on top of the Highline, which is really cool on its own. There is a rooftop bar, and beer garden, and a very nice outdoor restaurant at the bottom of the hotel. The room was small, but really cool. Everything I needed, with an entire wall being floor to ceiling windows looking out over the Hudson and at Freedom Tower. The guy at the front desk was great, taking time to explain all of the amenities, which there are a lot of. The gym is on the 17th floor, and three of the four walls are all glass, looking towards the river. They keep the lights low in there, so looking out over the lights and water while doing a late night bike ride was a unique experience. Most people migh not appreciate this, but they had nice spin bikes with SPD clip in pedals.
