Carter Hotel Traveler Review

A vast improvement on the Waldorf!!!

Having recently returned from a stay at the Hotel Carter 243 W43rd st. i have to say that my experience simply could not have been improved upon. On a prior visit to the supremely wonderful Metropolis that is New York, i had the misfortune to stay at the Waldorf Astoria Central Park West. I found the concierge to be cringingly nice, asking me if he could help me with my luggage, in that outrageously over the top 'i'm only doing this for a generous tip' kind of manner. Upon reaching the reception i was accosted by an array of fake smiles, forcing me to have to swiftly deploy the Ray Bans, and on reaching my room i was subjected to chapter and verse on how 'This remote control operates the lighting and this one adjusts the springs in the mattress and another one creates an ambient mood with music' obviously lifted from some poorly directed insanely expensive hollywood epic!!.....Needless to say all this unnecessary over-indulgence in what ultimately were four walls within which i would sleep for 8hrs or so, and as the word sleep suggests, my eyes would be closed preventing me seeing all this madness that i was having to remortgage the Manor house in-order to experience, when my funds could have been much better spent in one of the many fine establishments that adorn 5th ave. So in finding the Hotel Carter, i was relieved and delighted to have found an absolutely splendid 'no bullshit' Hotel at the heart of Times Sq and Broadway, that offered me the same aforementioned 8hrs sleep, and yet still managed to respect my desire to utilize my very substantial funds enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of my beloved New York City!!!

Sparkling form

Awesome!!!!!
