It is a 15-20 minute taxi ride.

We've stayed at the Hampton Inn in Manhattan across from Macy's to be a little closer to the action (nice in the runup to Christmas). A little more by taxi; i think we paid $50-60 for a Dial 7 black SUV.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Brooklyn a few years ago. 

It is not far from theRed Hook terminal, but certainly not walking distance.

We inquired at the front desk about the availability of a taxi to the pier the following morning. We were informed that taxis could not be hailed in front of the hotel, but a car could be arranged through the front desk. Of course we made this arrangement.

The next morning, we were driven to the pier in a town car. I do not recall the fare.

As another poster has indicated the ride was 15-20 minutes.

Another note about the hotel, the rooms were small,especially considering we had a good amount of luggage.

Since we were unfamiliar with the neighborhood, we had dinner at the hotel bar/restaurant. There were not a lot of items on the menu as I recall.

A Hilton hotel opened shortly after our stay at the Hampton Inn.

if I were to stay in the area again,I would consider the Hilton as the rooms may be larger and the restaurant more accommodating.
