Mold in bathroom, blood stain on pillow
Wow, Hotel Carter was so trashy all we could do was laugh about it. We get in the room, it is TINY. There is a chair in the corner of the room that you have to squeeze between it and the bed to get to the bathroom. No remote for the TV. Mold all over the bathroom wall. We found a blood stain on the pillow case and it had soaked through to the pillow, so who knows what was up with that. It was scary. Oh and when we told them about it they said, "Oh I'm sorry, here is a new fluffy pillow." We stayed for 4 nights, and the cleaning person came in only once during our stay, and the only thing they did was make our bed. We had to go down to the front desk ourselves to get clean towels. There were no wash cloths, just towels. We also had to go down there to get toilet paper. We had to just bag up our trash and set it in the hallway, which seemed to be the popular thing to do because we saw bags of trash outside of other people's rooms too. Also, I have never been to a hotel where they make you pay to hold your bags until your check in time. $2 dollars per bag. I know it isn't too much, but still that is normally something that is complimentary. Also, the window was stuck open and it was like 40 degrees out, but the heater was on full blast so the temperature was comfortable but it was just weird. The curtains were right over these old school looking heaters and it looked like the place could catch on fire at any minute. But it was right by Time Square which was cool. Perfect location, Good old Hotel Carter. It is cheap and trashy, but who goes to NYC to stay in their hotel the whole time....no one. So if you just don't mind a little mold, bloody pillows, and having to go get your own towels and take out your own trash, then Hotel Carter is the place for you!
