Dirty and overpriced
I recently paid $350 to stay for one night at Flatotel for a business trip. I was appalled at the quality of the room for the price. I am a weekly visitor to New York and decided to stay here instead of my usual location due to the last minute nature of my trip. Mistake. Water damage and mold growth in the bathroom. Mysterious stains on the furniture and a broken window hinge made me wish for the night to be over as soon as possible. 
The staff are somewhat friendly, however their 4pm check in policy also leaves much to be desired. I've never heard of such a late check in.
