DO NOT STAY HERE
My wife and I stayed in this DUMP for three nights from September 28th to Oct 1st. We checked into a dirty room that had not been vacuumed with a bathroom that smelled like urine. There were also several hairs in the tub. They tried to mask the smell with air freshener, however, all that did was make the room smell like urine and flowered scented air freshener. I insisted they move us to a clean room - which was slightly better, but still not vacuumed properly. We were traveling with friends who's room was in the same awful condition. The Hotel in general is tired and needs updating. The carpets are worn, the paint is peeling, the elevators are slow (with worn out panels) and there is mildew in the bathrooms. There is no room service. All this for only $350 per night (plus tax). We immediately went in search of another place to stay in the area, but with no luck as it was the weekend and everything was booked - so we were stuck here for three nights. I travel a lot for work and have stayed in everything from budget motels to luxury downtown hotels - this hotel is the worst place I have every stayed. Since we were in beautiful New York City and there is so much to see and do, we rarely spent time in our hotel rooms and refused to let this awful place ruin our getaway weekend. The only thing this place has going for it is the location - very convenient between Central Park and Times Square - also, the bed was comfortable and the mattress looked newer. We had a great time visiting New York and plan to go back soon - but we will NOT be staying at this hotel.
