What guests think

M Social Hotel New York Downtown draws praise for its unbeatable location by the World Trade Center and sweeping skyline views, but ongoing renovations and inconsistent room quality lead to mixed stays, especially around elevators, amenities, and overall polish.

Many guests highlight friendly staff and some spacious, newly refurbished rooms, while others receive dated rooms with noise or comfort issues and occasional maintenance problems like faulty air-conditioning. Housekeeping and cleanliness range from spotless to stained carpets and mildew smells, and dining is limited with the restaurant often closed and breakfast quality inconsistent. Frequent elevator outages and a temporary check-in area contribute to delays, and there is no onsite parking; some travelers also report unexpected fees. Overall, it suits travelers prioritizing convenience over full-service amenities.

Got the Jr Suite with the corner view. Worth it for the amazing view! Room was very spacious and comfortable. Wish it had a microwave (the kitchenette was pretty tiny. Service was overall great other than the high rise elevators being broken (down to only one). Which made getting down take over 30mins.

Best Located Hotel for me. Good Value, very clean, good views and great room. BUT, the elevator situation is tragic, we waited 5, 10, 15 minutes to catch an elevator down to lobby or up to the room. Transferring on the 4th floor is almost a dealbreaker. Was very disappointed there is no restaurant, and the lobby in the 4th floor is so out of the way, you truly feel abandoned by the staff to ask any questions about nearby coffee or places to eat. I would stay again but not while the construction is going on. Final point PLEASE hose off the front and side of the hotel entrance (around the benches) every morning. Discusting.

Actual check was easy. The check in desk was temporarily located on the 4th floor. Popperty location allows for access to many eating, shopping and sightseeing, all in walking distance. The hotel restuarant was temporarily- to be opened at a later date. Getting from my floor to the lobby required transferring to a second set of elevator bank.

The hotel is a great place and it’s at a great location. However, the only major hiccup is the parking situation not knowing that there is no In-Out parking or any valets, and this is not mentioned anywhere on the website or on the app so you don’t even know. You have to use the local parking garages and if you don’t get your card stand by the hotel you pay over $100 to get your car back for one night rather than $65 so if you stay here you’re going to have to use the metro system or the subway also there is no breakfast so that’s another thing on that but very clean and good view

When we checked in their network went down and it took a long time to fill out paperwork and another hour or so to get keys. Somehow it was still down until the next day. The lobby was also under construction getting in and out of the hotel cartoonishly uncomfortable having to wrestle your way in and out of a tiny hallway in the garage. Both room keys stopped working at all elevators but 1. It just seems a busy touristy area and I'm sure their room will always be full but beware you might get annoyed with nothing working and no one seeming to give a crap. Should hotels under construction at least mention that prior to reservation? Amazing views from our suite though.

The location of the hotel is great, but unfortunately, the service was horrible, and the lack of accountability made the experience even worse. I understand the building is currently undergoing renovations, but that shouldn't be an excuse for poor service. Guests still deserve a certain level of care and professionalism, regardless of the circumstances. Very disappointing.

I booked this hotel with an upgraded reservation for a Brooklyn Bridge View room. However, when I arrived at the room assigned by a staff member, I was shocked and disappointed to find that there was absolutely no view of the Brooklyn Bridge—only a completely obstructed view of other buildings. Exhausted from traveling, I had to pack my luggage again, return to the front desk, and demand an explanation. A different staff member checked my reservation and immediately corrected the mistake, assigning me to the correct Brooklyn Bridge View room that I had originally paid for. This means that the first staff member deliberately downgraded my room despite knowing that I had paid for an upgrade. This is not a simple mistake—it’s intentional. Because of his dishonesty and lack of professionalism, I was forced to check in twice, dragging my luggage back and forth, wasting my time and energy. This completely ruined my first impression of the hotel and caused unnecessary frustration at the start of my stay. Management must take immediate action against this kind of behavior. Allowing staff to intentionally deceive guests not only tarnishes the hotel's reputation but also disrespects paying customers. Guests deserve fairness, transparency, and respect—not dishonesty and inconvenience.

I called two or three times asking for towels and wash clothes and still none, instead they sent an engineer? He was confused as well. I kept calling front desk and no one picked up the phone. The hallways are dirty, housekeeping doesn’t clean them. The furniture is dated- felt like I was staying at a motel 6, the elevators didn’t work so we used the service elevators. Limited channels in Tv. Worst experience ever at this hotel.

Overall could have been great experience. Hotel has rooms with very spectacular views. I would put 5 star, but hotel end up double charging us for breakfast which also had very low quality. Staff at reception was misleading to say the least.... and phone call post stay also never helped. Fridge wasn't working in one of the rooms we have booked (minor for us), breakfast quality terrible (never should have taken), communication with staff, well let's say could be better (better to keep minimal if won't to avoid confusion), otherwise excellent place to stay. Loved: free water, laggage could be left longer for "free" even after checkout, room cleaning excellent, view from room fantastic, room amenities good, overall positive experience if excluding breakfast related part.

We stayed in a renovated king panoramic room on the 46th floor. WOW! What a view! We stayed Mon-Wed and it was pretty busy but I don’t have any other experience to compare it too. Avg cost at end of stay was 275/night. Worth it! That’s a deal for the view alone….and the windows were clean! They are doing a great job while dealing with a renovation. This must be considered when reserving here. The staff was gracious and responsive. Once we got on the elevator to go to our room the “under renovation” atmosphere wasn’t noticiable to use. It seemed like a hotel. Things to consider: There is no food service. There is a makeshift station upon entering for morning coffee and bananas. We were near the elevators. We experienced some rude inconsiderate loud people that obviously don’t realize that it isn’t just their hotel, however that’s on them, not the hotel. It wasn’t more than a brief instance two times. It’s not loud. Check in is on the 4th floor temporarily. Elevators to go up go ear popping fast. Views are amazing. Walking distance from Battery Garage that’s 55$ per day for parking. It’s directly across from WTC Mall and subway access is convenient. I would go back today if I had anymore vacation time. This place is a STEAL for its location, staff, view, convenience and quality. I recommend the Millenium.

All in all, the stay was good. We loved the fact that we were right across the street from the WTC and 9/11 memorial. The personnel was kind. I found out breakfast was either a dine in room breakfast or you could order from the bar. To be honest I recommend going to the bar every morning to get breakfast to go. The breakfast dine in service was just so slow and unreliable. They were so overloaded with calls that you needed to call as early as 7:30am to leave a voicemail for them to call you back to take your fine in breakfast order. Moreover, the double beds were twin beds, which is just not comfortable for sleeping 2 people.
