Pro: Good location/Con: So dirty
I checked into the hotel knowing that I shouldn't be expecting much. I had gotten a great deal on the standard guest room ($240 for two nights) and already had in mine that it wasn't going to be up to par as other New York City hotels. When I got to the room, I didn't even want to take my shoes off to walk around. The carpet smelled of dank mildew and cigarette smoke. It was highly noticeable that the wood on the entertainment center, cupboards, and desk was chipping off. The shower would flip from being extremely hot to extremely cold at a moments notice. I was missing a remote for my TV, and called downstairs. They sent up a repairman with a broken remote, and within 5 minutes he sat down on my bed while making a personal phone call. So unprofessional. The service was unhelpful and unsympathetic. However, the hotel was very well situated to many cafes, restaurants, the subway to downtown Manhattan, and Central Park. All in all, this place was a dump. My advice: pay the extra $50 a night to stay somewhere else that you don't have to worry about your personal hygiene being compromised.
