You mean the New York Marriott Downtown, which is located at 85 West Street in Lower Manhattan. The hotel is located roughly about 10 to 15 miles (16 to 24 km) west of JFK Airport and very easily accessible by public transit, if you choose to take it. The link below is a review from guest who have stayed at this hotel.
