Change the "T" in "hotel" to "V" and that sums it all up. (Hovel)
Upon arrival first impressions were to check out again quickly, but decided it couldn't be all that bad in the rooms, wrong, it was worse than we feared. Tiny rooms you could barely walk between bed and wall, dirty walls in every room, the wiring was extremely suspect, and the air conditioning unit above ours dripped onto the one outside of our room all night - it was like the chinese water torture. We asked for extra towels which we only got for one day, extra pillows which we had to collect ourselves from reception. It was NOT good value for money. I would not use this hotel again if it was the only room available in New York. Please see the pictures on the review sight it really is as bad as the pictures show ref the electrical sockets etc. On the last morning of our stay I killed a cockroach which was climbing up the wall - I checked out before he did.
