When we were waiting in line to check in at the front desk we overheard the lady in front of us asking to change rooms because hers did not have a window in her room and that she needed an air conditioner. Then she said, "Well, there is a window, there is just no glass in it." Based on her description, we were scared to see our room and while we did have glass in our windows we were really disappointed with the rooms.
The rooms are old, dirty, stained and are in desparate need of a major renovation. I could tell that they do not clean the rooms well when I saw that someone had stuck the price tags from their shopping on the wall by the bed and no one had removed them. While I might expect this quality from a $35 a night hostel, you are wasting your money if you stay here. I am sure the only reason why they get away with their high prices and low quality rooms is because of their location in the tourist trap that is Times Square.
If you are going to spend this kind of money on a room I would suggest using the name your own price option at priceline.com and try to get yourself a 3 star hotel at a decent price.
