Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to the Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Manhattan/Downtown East on Henry Street, I wasn’t expecting much from this three-star place tucked into Chinatown. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in unassuming packages.

The location is actually pretty brilliant if you think about it. You’re right in the thick of Chinatown’s energy – I mean, step outside and you’re immediately hit with the smell of fresh dumplings and the chatter from the markets along Mott Street. It’s maybe a five-minute walk to some of the best xiaolongbao in New York, and honestly, that alone made my stay worth it. The hotel sits on this quieter residential stretch though, so you get the neighborhood vibe without the constant honking that’ll keep you up all night. I was worried about noise levels initially, but the rooms are surprisingly well-insulated – I could barely hear the street below even with the windows facing Henry Street.

What really impressed me was how the staff seemed to actually care about getting things right. Check-in was smooth, no weird holdups or attitude, and the front desk guy gave me solid recommendations for late-night eats nearby (definitely hit up Joe’s Shanghai, but go after 9 PM when the tourist crowds thin out). The rooms themselves are clean and functional – nothing fancy, but the beds are comfortable and the WiFi actually works, which, let’s face it, is sometimes a gamble in Manhattan hotels. The bathroom’s compact but efficient, good water pressure, and they keep it stocked with decent toiletries. I appreciated the little touches too, like having a proper workspace with enough outlets – seems basic but you’d be surprised how many places still haven’t figured that out.

Here’s what sold me on this place: you’re walking distance to the Brooklyn Bridge, the South Street Seaport, and you can hop on the subway at East Broadway or Grand Street stations without dealing with the Times Square chaos. Plus, if you’re into that whole authentic New York experience, watching the neighborhood come alive in the morning – vendors setting up, old-timers doing tai chi in Columbus Park – it’s pretty special. The hotel doesn’t try to be something it’s not, which I respect. It’s clean, comfortable, and puts you right where the real city happens, not in some sterile midtown bubble. For the price point and the genuine neighborhood feel, I’d definitely come back.

Very nice hotel in Downtown Manhattan!

Very clean property, friendly staff, nice breakfast. 5min walk to the East Broadway subway station that lets you reach any place very quickly.

What could be improved: Housekeeping came at very random times

Good accomodation in lower Manhattan for a reasonable price

Cleaning every day. We had a problem with the toilet on Sunday morning and they fixed it in 15 minutes! Well done! Every employee smiles at you, that's a plus.

What could be improved: Breakfast room is small, always had to wait for seats (we were 3). Breakfast is enough but not A quality food.

A great base to explore New York with family

Hotel is in a great location! It is within walking distance to WTC memorial and a bit further on, Battery Park, to catch ferry to Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island. East Broadway subway is very close too to go uptown.
We were all very impressed with the breakfast and the attentive staff. You can take food out with you or up to your room, which is great as some hotels don’t allow this.

What could be improved: The bed and pillows were a bit soft but it was fine for 3 day stay.
