Paramount Hotel

We stayed in this hotel in marc 2008, the room they gave us was tiny, was impossible to open the suitcases inside the room, that was bare patch, and the bathroom are so, so old, almost twenty years without improvements, they don't have windows...Also we've been in public restrooms cleaner than our room...

At the recepcion told us they will be chargin 50$ per day for any damage we could make.... and fridge of the room was closed and out of order..

The gereral impresion of the hotel is so dark, and they have music at hihg volume, maybe they suppose that make them more cool...

We were stolen inside the room(1300$), and they tried to avoid to call the police, I had to call them from my room (911), when the police came, the manager tried to avoid take responsibility for security of the room, of caouse, they charge us every call (1,25$ each), even to the police...

Leaving the hotel they charge us 2$ per suitcase, just to take care of them for a few hours...

I truly recommend you not to go to this hotel, you are warned....

The first mistake I made was to book my travel through Expedia. I prepaid for my air fare and hotel. The flight on Jet Blue was outstanding however, when I checked into the hotel with my 71 year old mother, we were floored, litterly! The beds were on the floor! My closet at home was bigger then the entire room. We booked a hotel for double occupancy and there were two beds on the floor with only inches between the beds and the wall.

The KICKER, we checked out, they refused to provide any documentation of our checking out. When attempting to get a refund, Expedia called the hotel and they the hotel said we never checked out.

We went to the Marriot Maruque accross the street, wonderful, big, food, shops, WONDERFUL.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL AND EXPEDIA

Horrible, terrible, gross, dirty, tiny, outdated, rude, rip-off....

I have stayed at the Paramount hotel for years, but never again. This hotel just keeps going downhill. I believe that it used to be part of the Ian Schrager group of hotels. I think it was sold several times.

I am in the hotel right now. The wireless went down and I had to send out a proposal. The night manager, Cynthia R, couldn't care less. When I told her it as already after midnight. All she said was for me to go "find a cyber cafe!" She offered no assistance, was incredibly rude and rolled her eyes at me. The only saving grace was a kind young woman, Karen, who came to my assistance and found me a 24 hour Starbucks.

Besides that, the rooms have lost there charm--there are stains on the sheets, the air conditioner/heater rattles all night and the door staff stands inside all day/night talking to each other rather than helping with bags or helping to hail taxis.

Honestly, this is worse cheap motel. It should be downgraded to a one/two star accommodation.

The location is great. I couldn't care less about room size or lack of amenities, but our room was soooo filthy. The toilet was worse than in most gas stations. I'm really not that fussy, but this place was really gross.
