My boyfriend and I wanted a really inexpensive Hotel just to crash.
I read all the reviews and all the hotels around our price range: $100-$130 a night
I chose the SOHOTEL, number 1 reason, NO Shared Bathroom!
I stayed in room 427
Here are my comments:
1. Small rooms but very economical.
2. Price was reasonable for the Hotel.
3. Not for those with physical disabilities - No elevator, alot of stairs
4. Friendly staff
5. Room Key card had to be reset everyday
6. BRING Earplugs if you need quiet to sleep
7. Convenient location, subway not too far
8. Some nice inexpensive sub shops/restaurants nearby
9. They were remodeling the entire 3rd floor, with even flat screen plasma tvs!
MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT AND BEWARE!!!!!
As soon as I got home. This TICK jumped off my shirt that was in my clothes bag.
Okay I THOUGHT it was a TICK! A few days after staying here, my boyfriend and I had bumps from head to toe all of our bodies. These itchy bumps that looked almost like pimples or mosquito bites!
THEY WERE BED BUG BITES! IT WASN'T A TICK THAT JUMPED OFF MY SHIRT, IT WAS A MATURE ADULT BED BUG!!! Our hotel room was infested.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, IF You want to stay at this hotel, I recommend reading up on bed bugs and following the guides in searching for them. This was the most uncomfortable feeling ever. I also had to fumicate my house, I bought allergen mattress and pillow case covers and washed all my sheets in bleach and hot water when I got home because I didn't want to get infested.
This has become an epidemic in NYC. Check out 60 minutes from CBS, They did a special on it.
GOOD NEWS. I did call the Hotel and complained and they did provide me with a full refund of my stay.
And so far, looks like if I brought any of these critters home with me, I killed them all!
I will add photos to this of the room when I get a chance.
