Thread: How bad can this NY hotel be. How seriously do you take reviews?

So I booked this hotel> it was the only one available last minute in New York city.

Some reviews...

Please, avoid this place!PostedAugust 8, 2012

The worst place that i've ever been!!!! I don't recommend to anybody. The bathroom is a big mess and is dirty everywhere. The room is very small and everything smells very bad! Is better to spend 10 bucks more per day to be in a better place than being there!

Who wants to spent money for nothing?PostedSeptember 21, 2012

I think that the word HOTEL in connection to this house is absolutely wrong. Better is to stay on JFK airport or a railway station in the waiting room.

cheap but everything else very badPostedAugust 29, 2012

cheap but nothing else. really small nosiey dirty.

Anyway I don't care. Its a place to pass out and shower. That's it. I found decent hotels for the same price but they were not downtown. This place is pissing distance from ground zero. I wont be spending a ton on Taxi's.

Plus I like staying in dumps ounce and awhile. I stayed in a 150 baht a night room in BKK just for the fun of it

Oh, and please post more pics of NYC.

I love just walking around the neighborhoods....

You may be Canadian (I cannot remember) so that would even be easier.

The hostel are clean, secure, and quiet. Mostly Europeans staying there.

I was thinking about going hostel but this was a few dimes more with a hotel and flight package.

Im going to take some pics. Its my first time there

The pic above is the 150 baht a night room in BKK.

Last time I stayed in NYC on my own dollar I stayed at the Chelsea Hotel, which was as expected a dump- and a sleazy, druggy one at that. But I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I love the Algonquin in midtown.

just imagine the wildlife sharing the spunk sodden bed with you, better you than I, take a Heavy duty ground sheet with you, see if its still there in the morning.

That's the hotel where Sid Vicious stabbed Nancy Spungeon to death. Seems a really nice place.

Leonard Cohen boned Janis Joplin there too, and wrote a great song about it:

Hotel is a fuckin joke. Can't Even bring prostitutes into my room

On kohsan road. The block past the popular irish pub.

Chatted with a cute white bicth the whole flight from Montreal to NY. Just had some WOP food at Mama Sborres at the end of time square. They charge By the pound. Had spaghetti and Greek salad. I want to find a nightclub or something close.

My worst Bangkok hotel experience was the 400 Baht Siphraya Hotel way past Silom.

After dark the sheer number of cockroaches in the room was scary. I cowered on my bed and left at 6am the next morning. I suppose if I'd had ten bottles of Chang I'd have ended up creating two cockroach teams to play a game of football against eachother

Ahh Khao San.. i thought as much

Little do most people realise you can stay in some respectable nice places for less than 500baht - If you're prepared to get into the Residential 'Thai' areas of Bangkok. Only a few stops away on the MRT or BTS

I stayed here for 400baht

Spb Paradise Hotel Bangkok Thailand - Best discount hotel rates

Fantastic place. Huge rooms with Sofa and big bed... Very clean, bathtub, hot shower, free golf cart to the MRT.. Most people staying there were Chinese or Thai.. no Farangs in sight.

Sarasinee Mansion for 500 Baht a night in Intamara 22, Huay Kwang. Bargain and a great coffee shop full of talent, run by the local police.

Socal - just hang around somewhere in the village and you're bound to meet a nice NY gentleman who'll give you room and full board for free.

The room is irrelevant!!! Its still surrounded by YANKS!

The economy is so bad that the yanks are Renting out their daughters like the cubans do ?

Spent $45 on a beer and hookah near time square. Fuck was it good hookah though..And the place was loaded with stun kunts.

Seen wall street and ground zero today. The actuall memorial is gay cuz u have to reserve a spot online so I never went.

One thing I notice, where ever I go, I am the minority. The white male is becoming a collectors item. This one nigger asked if I was German today. I just told him to fuck the Germans.

and I went to see Fox News. I seen Andy Leevy from Red Eye having a smoke outside.

^ Careful tossin around that 'WOP" term. They kill people for less. Trust me, I know. I am Sicilian....a NY Dego has no scruples....

All you guys have got too much money to throw around. Try a 79bt room down Kho San road. And it was 74bt to the pound at the time.
