I can accept a tired and outdated hotel...but, not dirty
This hotel is located in Union Square - so the location is the only reason why it received more than a one star. The hallway that leads to the bathroom and closet is painted a garish dark purple as well as the doors to the closet and bathroom - paint all chipped up. The worst part was the grime that caked the door handles to the bathroom. Absolutely disgusting! The wall paper was peeling and had bubbles in numerous spots along with areas what appeared to be mold...or dirt. The room had dust and dirt in corners and table tops. 
The general public areas are much better maintained than the rooms. 
I ordered room service and paid $37 for under ripe fruit, a small container of yoplait yogurt, and a cup of coffee. 
Would never stay here again....even for free.
