Very good

Great location for Downtown Manhattan

Liked: The location in Downtown Manhattan was exactly what I wanted. I could visit the 9/11 museum, the World Trade Center, and Wall Street within a few minutes. The staff is excellent and great with recommendations.
Disliked: The traffic noise was constant day and night

Superb

Best kept secret if you...

Liked: Clean. Not over crowded. Homey. Beautifully designed. Reasonably priced. I’ve traveled to NYC several times for work and the issue with most hotels is that they are always over priced, over crowded, and too expensive. Smyth Tribeca was special in that it was none of these things. I will come back 100%
Disliked: Nothing.

Housekeeping steals from the rooms

Disliked: First I've noticed that housekeeping was using some of our cosmetics and left an empty coffee cup. I haven't paid much attention, but the day before we left I discovered that one of the my daughter's toys was stolen. Honestly, who can steal a toy from a child on a New Year? I've always left enough tips for them. And since staff and customer support was pretty much ignoring my complains, I guess this is not a first time such thing happen.Also bathroom walls are semi-transparent, that can be a problem if you would like to enjoy some privacy.

Exceptional

It was very good but...

Liked: The room was more spacious than the average New York room and it was nicely appointed, clean and modern.
Disliked: I received an unexpected charge on my account for a charitable donation that I did not authorize. Although the staff reversed it (not very graciously) when I complained, it should never have been charged in the first place. If I want to make a charitable donation, I will. If the hotel asks if I wish to make one, I can say yes or no. The hotel has no right to charge my card for a donation that I did not authorize.

Exceptional

Disliked: One of the two elevators kept breaking down, and with only one elevator working, there was a lot of waiting around

Superb
