Very disappointing
I reviewed the experiences on Trip Advisor and decided to try this based on the reviews. Needless to say, I was very disaapointed. I originally found this hotel on Priceline and under the amenities, it stated "free parking" - not to be a doubtful, I called to verify and the front desk informed me, yes there was free parking available for the hotel. I booked and paid in advance for the room which also had its own bathroom. We arrived and of course, no free parking , but "free on street parking". No mention of a parking lot that we could have put the car. We found a spot 2 blocks away and parked 10 feet away from the hydrant (being from MA) and called it a night. Needless to say, we got (2) parking tickets for $115 each. We found out later after researching that NY parking hydrant distance is 15 feet. Who would have thought that there was that much variation from state to state. Not only was the parking issue a problem, but the room was in need of serious renovations. The bed was extremely uncomfortable (very lumpy) and actually caused me major pains which I am in therapy for. The towel rack in the bathroom fell off the wall and landed on my companions foot. Not a good experience for us. Knowing it was a bare minimum hotel/hostel, I feel our experience was below even the bare minimum.
