I'm a member of an air crew who, recently, HAD to stay at this DUMP!!
I totally appreciate that it is 'historic', place, BUT:
I had 'spit out' chewing gum, used makeup remover pads, candy wrappers and other garbage under the bed. There was a 'left over' Coke bottle left in the refrigerator - someone else's garbage! The walls are FILTHY in the rooms. They look like someone threw glassfulls of swampwater against the walls. The bathroom had enough hair in it for me to knit another person.
The door is probably the original from 1919 - which is when this place was built. (It's the possessor of the "Pennsylvania 6-5000" telephone number that was made famous in a song played by Tommy Dorsey, and other Big Bands). EVERYTHING in the rooms is covered with filth. It has a reputation for spreading Bed Bugs! I didn't have any 'bug' problems, but I would URGE EVERYONE with ANY sense of Hygiend to AVOID this horrible place!
The heat - when you can get it - is either non-existant, or the same as being in a Bessemer Blast Furnace. If you call for assistance, you'll get several different excuses as to when someone will be there to fix it, or you'll get no response at all.
If you're used to the surroundings of a dumpster, stay here.
Location is great, and the Lobby is VERY DECEIVING. (It looks like something from the movies - the 1940's movies)
As an aircrew member, I've seen several DISGUSTING places all over the world. THIS place is #2 on my list of NASTY!
STAY AWAY unless you plan to disinfect the entire room (including the bathroom) on your own!
HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING, FILTHY, UGLY and any other word that means GARBAGE!!
