Filthy
I've since demoted my friend from booking hotels. Hotel Pennsylvania was TERRIBLE. The lobby looks great. I walked off the elevator onto the second floor and I immediately noticed the poor bldg. management. The carpet was visibly dirty, there was spackle all over the walls, the doors were filthy, I could go on. Upon entering the room, more filth. The shower curtain had old toothpaste on it from a previous guest, the walls were dirty, the furniture in the room looked like the original furniture from centuries ago. The bathroom as a whole was dirty; there was rust around the toilet on the floor, the windows did not have a screen, no fan in the bathroom. It was horrible. The room was big and spacious however. I wouldn't recommend anyone booking this hotel. It's super expensive (probably due to the location) and it's not worth the price. If you do not care about cleanliness and cost, you might be ok staying there. If you do choose to book a room there and have to request a roll in bed, DON'T. Lindy's (a restaurant) is connected to the hotel and it's super expensive. The Statler Grill is also connected and the service there was horrible. Aside from it being in a great location right across from Penn Station, the hotel is in major need of updating. The 7th floor looked better than the 2nd but I do not know about the room condition. The basement is in shambles and I suspect there is asbestos in that place. It's something you have to see to believe. We spoke to people upon the end of our stay and they knew the poor condition of this hotel. Run, don't walk away from this place.
