I informed the CSR that the AC did not work, and he did not offer me another room to stay. I requested to speak to the manager, and he refused. He was so rude. He also charged an additional 15 dollars, but didn't explain when I asked. I ended up staying overnight without the AC. I am not satisfied with his service.

On September 12, 2025, I had a confirmed booking with this hotel. When I arrived in New York at 11:59 PM i have my flight ticket as proof, the hotel refused to check me in, saying they could not find my information. A few days later, the system falsely updated my booking to show that I had “checked in and checked out,” but in reality, I never stayed at the property. I was still charged the full amount of $413.89.

They would not answer any phone calls or messages leading up to my stay. They "gave away" my room the first night. No one cleaned our room. They rushed us to checkout 45 minutes early. Worst hotel experience i have ever had.

The walk from the subway to the hotel felt very unsafe and the hotel itself doesn't even have a sign. The room looked like it was under construction. There was paint on the floor and the closet wasn't finished. There was no hair dryer, luggage rack, or wardrobe. The bed was on 2 sheets of plywood. The toilet in my room was making a hissing sound the entire stay. The check in process took at least 20 minutes, and during that time, another hotel guest was yelling for the manager. I ended up taking ubers because of the safety concerns. Poor experience.

The walk from the subway to the hotel felt very unsafe. The room was unfinished with what looked like construction dust and debris on the floor. The walls weren't fully painted and the closet wasn't fully built. One of the lamps wasn't working so it was very dark. There was no hair dryer or luggage holder, so my only option was to put my suitcase on the dresser. There was no desk in the room to work at. There was only one staff member at check in, so the line took more than 20 minutes to process and wait for my turn to check in. At check out, I requested a receipt and was told it would be emailed to me, but it never arrived (which means that now I have to call and follow up - I need it for corporate expenses). My biggest concern was the safety of the area. Very poor experience.

At the very beginning, the check-in process took a very long time. Then, when we received the keys and entered the room, it was terribly dirty — they hadn’t even cleaned after the previous guests. We asked for another room, but in both the room and the hotel there was no hot drinking water, and the water dispensers were not working. On the second day, the door lock broke. The door couldn’t be opened from the inside. Before leaving, we asked them to fix the lock, but when we returned in the evening, it was still broken. There was no one at the reception, and we had to search for staff and call them. The locker was also broken. We were forced to leave the door open overnight. Only a day before check-out did they finally fix the lock. This was the worst hotel ever. I absolutely do not recommend it — the staff couldn’t care less about the guests’ well-being.

Poor management of a hotel in a rough area

This place is poorly managed. The room didn't even have a shower curtain. How does that get overlooked?

Nope!

This "hotel" is to be redone completely. Let's start with the check-in. The young man at the reception (not particularly friendly or welcoming) asked me to show him my receipt with Hotel.com. Should they not have that already?? First time ever that I book with a third-party site and the hotel wants to see proof of payment. Then the room: clean, yes, but with splatters of paint all over the floor, the fridge did not work, the toilet might have been cleaned or not, hard to say, no spigot on the faucet, splashing water all over. Best of the best: the mattress lays on a plank of plywood, and the pillows (one per person) are super small. The TV: you have either to pay for everything or log in if you have already Netflix or Amazon. Then, there was not one garbage bin in the room. On the following day, a family member checked in in another room. Her bed consisted of 3 mattresses piled on on top of each other, but the room was clean, and it would have been OK for one night, but then we saw that the bathroom floor was covered in water, caused by a leak from the toilet. We called the reception, and were curtly advised that there is no other room available. We went down to the reception and miraculously were given a key for another room. This room was similar to ours (plywood bedframe etc.), but on top of it, there was no curtain for the bathtub. We gave up and our family member decided to stay there. In a nutshell: good for young backpack travelers, bad for families and older people!

Honestly, it is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed. There is no wardrobe, no clothes hangers, no hair dryer and no iron! No any drinks and food! You need to go out to buy everything you need. The AC is not working well so that the room is very hot and noisy! There is no service at all! The staff said they will let the technician check the AC and may consider change a room for us tomorrow. They just gave us some excuse and would not like to handle my issue. They did not come to fix the AC the next day. And they said there is a fitness center in the hotel and dinning room. It is a total lier! No! There is nothing you can find.I was very disappointed at this hotel.
