What I have encountered here that the room is not well ventilated. I asked the front desk to make the room colder or at least add the fan speed and told me that he can't (with an attitude) because the a/c is centralized. So i asked if he has an available fan for me to borrow but again with an...

Good value, good location, but bring earplugs... the walls are paper thin! The front desk is friendly and helpful; the place was in a good location in the middle of China Town and within walking distance of subways and tasty restaurants, not to mention SoHo and Little Italy, But while we stayed, people were loud at night and not at...

I stayed at this hotel for 1 night. (I was on a Business Trip in NY) I did not check any reviews before booking as I didn't have time for it. The hotel is really horrifying. The rooms are so small!!! The furniture is old. The smell is bad. I supposed to stay longer in this hotel, but I could...

I am not pretentious. I was born in a poor country and can put up with inconvenience. I thought I was getting a bargain with NYC prices being what they are. Wrong!! This was ten times worse than the worst I had ever experienced in communist times Romania. Service zero. Room smelled really bad. Very dirty. One bathroom/shower per floor,...

Two words: Bed bugs. My friend stayed here because we were attending a wedding and she needed accommodations. Before the wedding I went to change in her room, only to learn she had squished a "watermelon seed-size" bug. After a quick inspection and simple Google search, I learned it may be a bed bug. Then I looked around the tiny...

I stayed here for one night after going to see a show in the city. My partner did not check any reviews before booking and thought the hotel would be cheap but decent. It was horrifying. It's not that the rooms are small, it goes so beyond that. They are old and filthy and not really hotels rooms at all...

I booked a budget hotel in New York and was prepared for basic and am happy with simple but the thing that got me with this hotel was theceiling - a grill covered by a door mat had been placed in an attempt to minimise the impact to the unsuspecting traveller that you are sharing your room with...

Don't go there! The room are small, very dirty e noisy. The bed was dirty and as comfortable as to sleep on a piece of wood. The bathroom and some towel were dirty too. It's a cheap hotel but to sleep in these condition it's very expensive! My experience there was in the middle from a joke and a nightmare!

I went there as me and my friends decided to go cheap - great mistake! When I first entered the room I was thinking that it was some sort of funny joke, then I realized that it was truth. Called me spoiled because I am european but here we actualy have windows in every room. Never in my entire life...
