The Bar/Lounge at The Frederick Hotel

"Consult their helpful concierge for invaluable advice on area sights like the World Trade Center Memorial, Statue of Liberty, and South Street Seaport, which is now ever-buzzing with a host of bars and cafes"

"For a bargain room in a great Downtown neighborhood, it’s hard to beat this cost-conscious favorite"

"Rooms are small and lack panache (as well as minibars), but great restaurants and bars can be found nearby"

"Despite the name, you won’t find the pink cocktail at this well-maintained hotel in two adjacent 1850s buildings, let alone a bar in which to drink it (though there is a café)"

"Don't expect a breakfast room here, or even a lounge, though there are a few reupholstered velvet sofas and chairs to relax in while waiting for the crowd at the reception desk to thin"
