This hotel is an absolute dive! the staff (except the manager) were all very rude, in particular the older asian woman at reception. The only reason we stayed here was it was cheap and we could get loads of people into the room --- stayed here after working at a summer camp. The water from the tap started off brown... more

It was a mistake to trust AAA's recommendation. I would rate this place worst than "Terrible" if I could. This hotel should be demolished and the owner put in jail for ripping off people. The worst of the worst. more

When searching for a Manhattan hotel for my May trip I came across the Carter offering an affordable rate, good location, en-suite etc so promptly booked it. This was without doubt the dirtiest scruffiest hotel I have EVER stayed in. The carpet was so dirty in the corners you could not make out the 60's pattern, filthy windows, curtains and... more

If this is what is called a "Hotel on a budget", the now I know what it means. I'm glad I did not bring my wife with me, it was so depressing the first night. Old paint colour, dirty rug and so-so bathroom. No night tables with a lamp, so if you like to read at night, the only one... more
