The staff at the reception desk were wonderful. Very polite and helpful. Now I know its not a 4 star Hotel so my daughter and I were prepared for the worst. Rooms very small, remote for TV did not work, but who cares we didn't watch it anyway. Just testing. Too busy roaming around Times Square. There was no curtain... More

Centrally located to subways and all midtown attractions. It served our purpose as a place to stay for a late night concert because we would not have caught a train back to NJ so late. If you get the quad room there is ample space.

The location is perfect! u can see times square from the outside of this and it is nice walking distance to rockefeller centre, empire state building and macys. The rooms were standard with bathroom... More

Typical Downtown NYC hotel. I stayed in plenty around this area. The location is great, right near Time Square between 7th & 8th. Like most hotel it is old and worn down. But room was ok, reasonable clean, bathroom and AC working. While visiting NYC you will never stay on your room anyhow, so for be is a good location... More

I just come back from a six night stay with my sister. We booked the twins room and for some reason we were upgraded to a quads room (two queen size beds), so room space was obviously great. We asked for a high floor and renovated room and we got it. Back in April when I booked this hotel I... More

My friend and I decided to go to New York for just an overnight trip. We have flight privileges that allow us to fly stand by for free :) we didn't want to spend a lot on a quick overnight stay. We figured we wouldn't be in the room at all except to sleep. When we arrived we were not... More

The Carter Hotel, located at 250 W43 Street in Manhattan, is right in the heart of the Theatre District. This makes it an excellent location and an excellent value for money. It also makes it good walking distance to many attractions. The hotel itself is very basic, but it is clean and serves the purpose. The lobby is a long... More

This is a place to crash, nothing more. It isn't even very confortable, or very clean (I mean old carpets and shower curtains, dark narrow halls...). But it's in the heart of Time Square, steps away from everything. You get what you pay for, right?!

This has to be the worst place I've ever stayed. I've stayed in hostels about 20 times better than this isn't cheap. I cannot believe NYC doesn't have better standards, we in the UK are used to a basic hotel being Travel-lodge sort of standard but this place is dirty, tired, busy, hot, no hot water, threadbare carpets. Don't put... More
