I am an airline employee and I travel a lot because of my work and I think that now that I have visit a lot of destinations and seen many hotels I am able to give a professional opinion. I can stongly say that this was the worst I have ever been. In my trip to New york I had 12 people with me and all of them travel agents. We were all shoked from the hotel. First they did not allow us to do a group check-in ( or at least allow one of us to queue) ...nooooooooooo we had to wait for more than 1 hour to check-in and the staff was really really rude. Next thing I know is that the corridors were very very dirty and smelly. The rooms were also old and smelly, but at least not that dirty. The location of the hotel was very good, but this is the only good thing about it. I have never felt safe during all 3 days there and it turned that my feelings were right ( I will show more about it in below). A lot of people were in and out of the hotel without no control at all (most of them were not staying at the hotel at all).
Tha last day in the evening all the others were in their rooms and I was in the lobby working in my laptop ( as in my room the hotel never took the effort to bring a LAN cable for the internet) and once I have finished I went at the elevator. Inside there was a blond guy with glasses, dressed with jeans, runners and an coloufull adidas shirt and seemed very calm and "safe". I have steped in the elevator and I have pressed (15 my floor) and I have noticed that the guy didnt press any button at all....Once the elevator door closed the guy looked at me and said : "DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE SAFE WITH ME IN THIS ELEVATOR ? " I have started shaking and I was not able to reply, I only shaked my head as a yes sign..in the meanwhile he still didnt press any button. Next he introduced and wanted to shake my hand ( and I accepted as I didnt know what to do), he said that he was from Suedia and he started to laugh for no reason. Next he said that I could not go to 15-th floor and I should have gone to the top. Than he continued to talk no sense......He was not violent and he never tried to phisically approach me and also didnt seem or smell like he was drunk ( I assume he was just a psyco). Finally the door opened and I went out first and he came after me. Luckily for me, he start walking faster than me and he was like 2-3 steps in front of me. I immidiatly run into the elevator again and I saw that he came back after me but lucklily for me the elevator door was closed again and he couldnt make it to come inside. I went downstars and called security and explained even on more details than above what happened. They couldnt care less and the reply I got was that it was just a bad joke from a young turist and than escorted me to the room. It was a happy ending for me ( as I was lucky and brave ).....as nothing serious happened, but it was really really frightening.
Please take this seriously and pay a bit more for another hotel and be safe. I really hope that you will take my review in consideration.
