I stayed at this hotel for the first and last time for four nights in mid-March 2008. The room appeared superficially clean with new wooden floors.
The shower was unpredictable, there is no elevator and it's rather noisy.
The location was pretty good, as it's located near a few subway lines.
Still, as prices for rooms in NYC are quite high, the price seemed right.
Not so! The morning I checked out, there were numerous welts on my face that I didn't associate with insect bites at first. By the next day, over a hundred itchy welts/bedbug bites appeared mostly on my upper body.
I've had to take extensive precautions here at home to prevent the possibility of bringing the problem with me. When I called the hotel to report this, they denied having an infestation problem. Don't stay here--the price is too high!
