    The amenities advertised didn't exist. The pictures on the advertisement were at least 25 years old. It's a transient hotel that has long-term department of social services residents, and the staff spoke in a foreign language during check-in amongst themselves about us and they were carrying on personal phone calls while checking me in. When I said I had a reservation, he said. ID and card. Didn't greet me or explain anything, and just put 2 key cards on the counter and continued his phone call. I barricaded the door and would not let my family go out of the room without me. We only had 2 towels for 5 people... list goes on... advertised 2 pools. There were none..about 12-15 immigrants that were bused up from NYC loitering out front 24/7... Asked for hypo allergenic pillows. I was told that if they had any, I could only have 1and was taken to an adjoining room to hunt through the pillows and told " nope we don't have any , you want your money back ?" My credit card was charged twice.

    Not much. The elevator was fast.

    I checked in with my daughter at 11 pm and went right to bed. Then at 1:30 am in the morning someone started pounding on the door. My daughter woke me up and said someone was breaking into the room. Someone opened the door with a key but the safety lock was on and the door would not fully open. Someone said they were security and had to check my license. I told them I showed my license when I checked in. They said they needed to see it. I told them go away and they were not coming in my room. The person then said I was a b@tch and said he was coming back with someone else. My daughter and I could not sleep the rest of the night and she had basketball that day. I complained to the front desk the next day and they did not nothing. Did not say sorry or explained what happened. I left and booked another place that night.

    it was dirty and run down

    Worst hotel I've ever seen

    • Solo traveler
    • Queen Room - Non-Smoking
    • Stayed 1 night

    EVERYTHING!! When I approached the desk, the guy was sitting on his phone, and it took a minute for him to notice me. He said only the bare minimum and was not hospitable at all! The building had security which I understand may be necessary, but they did nothing to prevent anything; instead looked like they were just hanging out with friends. When I got up to the room and opened the door, it smelled like someone had literally just gotten done smoking a joint (Note there is a Smoke-Free sign on the entrance). Even for the deal I got on the room, it was not worth it.

    Nothing

    The door was loose, I had to get the front desk to fix my card keys every time I tried to get into my room. The front desk staff, mainly Thomas, was very rude and lacks customer service skills. He told me that this is what I get for the rate I was paying and when I asked how I was supposed to get ice, Thomas told me to use my hands. He also told me I couldn't use te lobby bathroom, that I had to wait until I checked in and use the bathroom in my room.The curtains were torn and raggedy, there was a hole in the bathroom door, the baseboards was coming away from the wall, the tile in the bathroom was coming away from the wall, I didn't receive any amenities, the paint was peeling off the wall, the remote control didn't work, the room smelled of Marijuana and smoke, I had to buy incense and lysol for the room. This was the worst experience I have ever had.

    The bed was comfortable and it was clean.

    I normally stay at cheap hotels and have low expectations, but, wow, this is horrible. The toilet was not cleaned (looks like someone at some spinach... no lie). The bathroom is a hot mess. The guy working the front desk was horribly rude and indifferent. They offered a "Deluxe" room option online that I'm told by the guy working the front desk is a lie and doesn't exist. This place is beyond awful.

    Comfortable bed with clean linens. About the only thing I can say that's positive.

    Cigarette smell and presence of cigarette ashes in the elevators and rooms, level of cleanliness not up to the standard you would expect from a hotel. Rationed breakfast food, of low quality and controlled by a person who grunts and blows when asked for something. Travelers, go the other way!

    Good step when you travel from Canada to New York

    i was in room 810, key wouldn't work. had to go get a new one. the second one took atleast 40 tries to finally unlock the door. i turn on the light and alls it did was strobe and flicker. so i find a lamp to turn that one. thankfully that worked okay. then i turn and look at the bed and every sheet/blanket was covered in stains. also no full size pillows either.

    it wasnt near a busy street
