Murat IJanuary 30, 2013I have never seen such a bad Hotel whole in my life. I've been travelling a lot and that's the worst hotel ever stayed. I got surface cleaner and disinfectant to clean up my room. Bathroom is awfull !
Alaina PlasterOctober 11, 2011I love the lobby! But don't let it fool you. When we walked into our room there were two tiny beds and three of us my dad had to order a roll a way bed. That still didn't help. Total waste of time!!!!
Will PryorDecember 4, 2013Crappy hotel but great location. Rooms are nasty and the bed feels like a cardboard box. TV is from the 80's and does not face the bed. Complete tear down and rebuild is in order
This hotel reminds of the movie "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson.... They need a major renovation.
Heather GreenMay 22, 2011Lobby is gorgeous but it seems like the rest of the place I saw (here to support bf @ comicon card tourney) was old charm shabby.
For a hotel sitting on 7th Ave with a nice lobby, this room sure sucks hugely; no microwave, fridge, & small amount of TV channels
Irasema OMSeptember 1, 2013I dont know why people complain about this hotel... if you are in NYC, then WHY THE HELL ARE U IN THE HOTEEELL????
Ryan McDanielJuly 6, 2010Definitely an old hotel, but nicely renovated. The bathrooms are kind of small, and there was mold on the cieling, but if you're looking for a cheap but still liveable room, this hotel will do.
Luis MediavillaDecember 16, 20121 star hotel. I found a cockroach on the bathroom. They don't clean the floor and the bathroom, no chair in the room, very bad heat. Bad internet service. Bad room service
Cassandra LyonsMarch 21, 2011Great location, but I'll never stay here again. I had to make three trips to the lobby to get an active key for my room- and I don't not have have hot water in my room.
Lauren HouckJuly 1, 2012Everyone is overreacting. This place is totally fine! Got through the "long" line in 20 min & our room is clean, has a fridge, and is nice! I wouldn't spend $300/night, but for $140? Sign me up!
Edgar WandscheerSeptember 24, 2011Think: location, location, location... Everything else sucks in this hotel. From the staff to the cleaning. Any hotel in south America is better than this shithole.
Dick BenedettoJanuary 28, 2014This place is a DUMP!! DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Pay the extra fifty dollars per night and stay in a hotel where they actually clean. The maid went though our bags and stole things. It's gross!!!
Don't be fooled by the sweet lobby. The rooms are less than stellar.
Carolina PasqualiDecember 22, 2011Damn! The water pressure is so f*** high that it hurted myself. Look what I had to do to take a shower.
Amir ZonoziNovember 6, 2014The worst hotel I have ever been to, dirty, outdated and bugs. Staff is incredibly rude, and the paid wifi sucks. Don't make the same mistake, go anywhere else.
David Paul AppellMarch 1, 2012Low rates for Manhattan (especially Midtown) but room is stuffy, with worn/rusty surfaces, and disgustingly stained carpet. Wouldn't want to run a black light over the bedspread, either.
Hakan OralJune 17, 2012Worst hotel on the planet, they cater to non America s because they don't know better....stay away...also no internet free..and dont ask any room from 4th floor and below.they are totaly terribles.
Luciano MunhozFebruary 13, 2011Very big hotel, but kind of , with cracked painting on the walls. At least it's clean: towels, bathroom and sheets.
Nancy GuevaraApril 16, 2012The hotel location is very convenient and the lobby may look nice, but the rooms are incredibly smelly and the beds uncomfortable.
Peter Van OostenJuly 24, 2013My girl has a rash after staying in this hotel, the shower is very bad, trouble with the temprature
Paul BachnerJune 9, 2013Don't ever stay here. You're not that desperate. There are much better hotels for the same price. Hell, if you stayed here you'd gladly pay $50 extra to be somewhere else.
Housekeeping is deplorable. If you can stay elsewhere, do so!
Brandon MarkeyAugust 7, 2011Protip: Do not stay at thus hotel. Disgusting. Shambles. Discourteous staff. Old and falling apart. Do. Not. Stay. Here. Check out the absurd carpet in the photo. Three hundred a night? No thanks.
Pablo HenriqueMarch 10, 2011Wow. Truly a sh*thole!!! Checked in and checked out again in less then 5 min... Disgusting!
Bring slippers if you have feet, because you will not want them touching the floor. Trust me.
This place still can't even upgrade the rooms and offer Wi-Fi! What year is this?!? Honestly!! (and they advertise that they do offer it, (but only in the lobby with crappy, and few, seats!)
Luli DavalosJanuary 9, 2015El peor hotel - worst hotel I have ever been, 12$ wifi per day, bad attention, and the bathroom such as the room were very small. Don't come here!!!
габаJanuary 22, 2014Dont stay here filthy, disgusting and old run down hotel. Horrible service and to think you come to stay on clean sheets only to find various hairs. DO NOT stay here!!!
Daniel SomogyiApril 16, 2012Totally agree with some othet ppl. This is the worse hotel I have stayed at in NYC. Dirty, smelly, dark floors, just not nice. Pay the extra few bucks and check in to another hotel.
This is a cheap hotel people...youre going to be disappointed...
This hotel is what it is. The experience is made worse however by the rude, vile, unacceptable staff who simply do not give a shit. Scumbags with contempt for guests.
Cynthia VázquezSeptember 21, 2012Disgusting!!! We found a mouse in the room and the cleaning is very bad. The rooms are very old and small. Save your money or go to another hotel. The location is great but is worthless!! =\
Lou GubertiApril 30, 2013Avoid this dump like the plague. I pulled a flea off myself in one of their conference rooms. Used by Amway to recruit for their scams too. Charming
- Alaina PlasterOctober 11, 2011Here's se good advice. If you get offended by people being rude to you, hate stinky rooms, uncomfortable beds, and terrible service, never ever stay here!! If you do you will defiantly regret it!!
Kayla!August 18, 2014Don't. This could be a gem but it's outdated, poorly upkept, and smells horribly. Location is great but not worth the sacrifice of a dirty hotel.
Magdalena RosaMay 10, 2012Great location. Old, run down. Our rooms were clean though! After reading real bad reviews I was afraid, but it wasn't as bad. Hallways... that's another story!
