Bed bugs
It's a lovely hotel with a lot of history, and I was interested because of that, but I also booked a room here because there were no reports of bed bugs in the hotel on the internet. However, I was bitten by one while I slept in room 205. I realize there's a bed bug epidemic in NYC, but if I am paying a few hundred dollars for a room, I expect not to be bitten by insects while I sleep.
