PRICE:
Frommer's Highly Recommended

This cozy hotel is a solid, mid-priced choice if you are looking for a downtown location. A short walk from Wall Street, the South Street Seaport, Brooklyn Bridge, and Chinatown, the Exchange Hotel features personalized service and a few perks like free wireless Internet and a complimentary continental breakfast. Recently renovated in a sleek, contemporary style, standard and deluxe guest rooms are on the small size, but are outfitted nicely with plasma televisions, mini-refrigerators and microwaves. The suites are roomy with a separate living room, black leather furniture and a full-sized kitchen. Bathrooms are tight in both the guest rooms and suites and include those sadly very fashionable marble bowl sinks that look good, but don't leave much space of any of your toiletries. That minor complaint aside, the Exchange is a welcome addition to an area much too lacking in lodging.
