I wasin New York in December and stayed in Brooklyn at The Marriott which for £80 less and an extra night was good value.
The hotel is shabby and run down. There are no fridges/tea making facilities in the rooms. My first room was like a shoe box, I would have had to sit on the loo to wash my hands. It was dirty and run down. I asked for an updrade which I have had to pay for so already this trip has worked out £120 more than my last one, and with one less night.
I had no heating the 1st night, and when taking a bath have to keep the tap on as the plug is usless. To got to the loo you have to sit sideways as they have the loo roll on the wall at the same level as the seat and a duct pipe in the way, then you have to stand up to use the roll!
The towels are thin and old and aslo very small. The bed has a blanket, no duvet, the carpets all worn through out give off a lot of static to many people getting electic shocks. The bathroom is covered in mould.
The walls are thin and my neighbours on both sides can be heard and the room door does not fit so not only does it rattle it lets in large shafts of light.
I hsve stayed at Backpackers in NX/Aussie a lot better, and would expect condidtions like here in a cheap B&B in Blackpool.
having an NVQ 4 in Accommodation Management I think that I am well qualified in to make the above statement. I am here for 2 more nights, if it was longer I would have moved hotel. I booked my trip via Eebokers and advise them to take this hotel off their site.
