Just got back from spending four nights at the Carter and have to say believe what you read. We travelled with another couple and both our rooms stank,theres of damp(although improved after 2 days by a new shower curtain so the whole room smelt of plastic) and ours of what can only described of as S#*T. They really did stink. Our carpet was filthy and looked like it could be housing all types of creatures whilst our friends room had a damp patch on the wall about 2 foot long.The handles on the draws in there room was cable flex as was the light pull in our closet/wardrobe, which also stunk and was filthy so we lived out of our cases. We had no problems with the staff but had a laugh at the $1 charge for your key and $2 charge to leave your baggage after checking out. On the plus side the location really is first class, 300 yards from Times square. Our sheets and towels where clean and had no need to use the ones we took with us after reading other reviews. The air con worked and there were no signs of rats,cockroaches,druggies,murders or prostitutes,all of which we expected to see in the lobby after looking at our room for more than 5 minutes.
I would certainly never go back but am allready looking back and laughing at the experience,so if you can stand the smell and are prepaired to slum it the location really is fantastic for the price.
