We visited NY in October 2004, when we got there the first bad thing happened - there weren't enough beds for us all to have one each! We therefore had to spend the next three nights sharing a bed with at least one other person, sometimes more. When we first got inside our room (on the very top floor) we found pubic hair in the bath (which didnt run properly), rubbish under the bed, mouldy food, and it was freezing as the windows did not fit the wall! Some of our friends found nail clippings in their bed sheets, some had blood stains. In the room next to ours a girl found a used condom in the drawer! On our second day, all the toilets blocked on our floor - so no one could go to the toilet all morning. As the bath didn't work, we couldn't wash our hair, so we had to wash it over a tiny sink, the size of a dinner plate. And to top it all off we had a policeman knock on our door to tell us to be careful of drug dealers residing in the hotel! On our last day we thought it would be over, however the shower broke in another guest's room and we had to rush our luggage through a large puddle of water to get to the lift at 7.30 in the morning! By the way, the lift had dried up sick in the corner! Not pleasant. even if you are looking for a budget hotel, with a great location - this place is not worth it. It was an experience but one we'd rather forget! Sorry about the photos - they are a bit wobbly, but it was had to concentrate with all the crap that was happening around us!
