I stayed in The Carter in Feb 05 for 4 nights; I should have read the reviews on this site. It is a one star budget hotel, in desperate need of renovation. Services and facilities are non-existent. Despite repeated requests our room was not cleaned during our stay.
The hotel is however, ideally situated just off Times Square. Theatres and shopping centres are in easy walking distance.
I could not recommend this hotel, it really is grim!!! But if you are a backpacker looking for affordable accommodation in order to explore Manhattan, the Carter may be for you. If your expectations are any more than a basic bed in a rundown hotel, then don’t even consider it.
