This hotel is an absolute rip off for what it is. Firstly I would like to say that this is not a hotel, it is more like a HOSTEL.
Here are the points that drove me up the wall:
1) no hot water.
2) cockroaches in the drawer! I am NOT kidding
3) the doors to the rooms MUST be made of thin paper as in the middle of the night, when someone would walk past, you could here everything they were saying and I woke up every single time.
4) the lift is sooooo slow.
5) hotel lobby receptionist - there was a man working on the reception who was the rudest person I have ever come across. The booking was made under a friend of mine's name and the guy would not let me check in unless I was that person!!! unbelievable - I have stayed at 5 star hotels all over the world and never ever had such a problem and here in this hostel like "hotel" he was giving me a hard time!!!!
I went for a walk up to West 81st Street and found a STUNNING hotel for exactly the same price. it was only maybe a 3 star hotel but I promise you, the furnishings, the bathrooms, everything looked like 5* - It was called Excelsior - It was so much better, soooooooo much better.
PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED BY WHAT THIS PLACE LOOKS LIKE FROM THE OUTSIDE. IT IS HORRRRRRRRRRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
