If you have an enemy, to whom you wish the worst in the word, and in fact actually really hate.. you wouldnt even let him stay here..
It's terrible.

Well where do i start.
From the moment you walk in you know you should have walked out .(especially when a staff member said he's family was staying and he will clean the room himself)
Our room was booked for four people we had two double beds
( with someone elses short and curlys over them) but only two pillows and two towels. We asked for two more towels and pillows but was told they had no more pillows left and they would try to find more towels, we are still waiting.
The furniture was from the local trip i am sure, it was that old and dirty. The bathroon was disgusting, slime all the way down the bath, mould all over shower curtain and missing tiles. We went out and brought disinfectant it was that bad. When we turned on the light switch a blue spark came shooting out, which blew out the light and left us with only light from the bathroom.
Having a shower was bad enought with all its mould but turning on shower the handle fell off right into the slime we couldnt get off. When i told management they didnt care at all.
I dont know how NY health department hasnt close it down. ITs a health risk to all that stay there

This Hotel is a disgrace.
It took 1 hour to check us in - (Que was out the door). When we got there, there was cops in the lobby. It was so bad.
The only good thing about the place was the concierge desk person. He was nice.

We checked into the Hotel room - Left a money deposit at the desk as we had a feeling we we're not staying here. We went to the room, it was totally trashed!!
Went down to reception & demanded the money back & mad a whole scene. There was rodent problems also, there were many people complaining at the desk.

DO NOT BOOK or STAY here. We booked online - It looked nice online, pics were nice but - IT IS SOOO BAD. Pictures were totally different than what we actually got!!

This place is CRAP!! It doesn't matter that it's cheap. It SUCKS! The hotel is old and literally stinks. The entire staff is unprofessional. We had to fight with them to get a new room because there were rat droppings in ours. Yes, rat droppings. The tub and sink were rusted and there were various stains on the walls. And, no, maybe you don't plan to watch TV a lot, but it's nice to have it when you want to relax after a day in the city. We looked at three more rooms until we found one that was halfway decent. The carpet was dirty, the room was never cleaned during our four night stay, and the hot water in the room was constantly running. So much for environmental concerns. Pay the extra $50 to stay in a nicer place. You won't regret it!!!

WORST hotel i have ever stayed in. the room was dirty and the bedding was not clean. it really spoiled my holiday. i even got charged for using the iron. the staff were not friendly and the manager was very abrupt.
really bad experience, please do not book even if it is cheap. its not worth it honestly.
