There are hotels far removed from the action, hotels on the fringe of the action and then there is the Marriott the Giants have stayed in this week. It is right smack in the middle of the action in the heart of the downtown section with the most Super Bowl XLVI traffic. It is not the ideal spot for players getting ready for the game of their lives but that’s where the Giants are staying. Many teams opt to change hotels the night before the game, but the Giants are staying put according to Paul Schwartz and Brian Costell of the New York Post.

“I don’t know why there’s a lot of concern about us being where we are,” Tom Coughlin said yesterday. “We’re isolated, and the second floor is completely secured for our players and our personnel. Our floors are off-limits to everybody, and they’re well-secured. Our players have enjoyed great rest and no one has complained of a bad night’s sleep, and if they have, it hasn’t been because of noise and other issues.’’

“There is a great build-up to this game, and there are more people in the street than I can ever remember, which reminds you of what an exciting time this is for this great city and people who are coming to the game,’’ Coughlin said. “I think it’s just a part of it. I don’t have any problems or fear of that.”

The Patriots are staying at the University Place Conference Center & Hotel.
