NEW YORK (AP) - A hotel has opened on the edge of ground zero, and executives say the view it offers on the World Trade Center site rebuilding is a selling point.
The World Center Hotel is still under construction on some floors but began taking reservations last month.
"Guests and members will have access to the restaurant patio with views of giant cranes, jackhammers and metal scaffolding."
That is what I always look for when I book a hotel, giant cranes and jackhammers. Given the location and air quality in that area, I can't imagine this being a selling point.
