Our trip was in May of '06. We were going to stay one night for a convention. When we got there the man behind the counter was rude and basically threw the room key at us. His, "You stay outside." was a bit misleading. He meant that our room was directly on the street. We opened the door and were... More

Yes it was awful. Filthy. Stinky. Nothing was clean. BUT there was no other place to stay so near to Manhattan with that price. So if you are there for a couple of days and getting in the hotel just for sleeping, it's fine. As long as you are too tired or drunk, you won't recognize the dirt on your... More

This seems more like a place for people who lost their apartments, are between jobs, etc. The Manhattan views are nice from this area, but the area itself is not the place to be. The "hotel" itself is disgusting. We went out and bought our own towels, cheap sheets, shower shoes etc. so there goes the savings on the rate... More

We stayed here for the last two nights of our 5 week trip to the States. It was affordable, given that we skint by this stage, and despite the terrible reviews we gave it a try. The owner, however, was easily the most unhelpful person we'd ever encountered on our travels. Other staff spoke no English and seemed exasperated because... More

I have traveled far and wide and stayed in some pretty modest and simple places...even some hostels in Europe that were very questionable...but this place takes the cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! horrible horrible horrible.... The man running this crap hole is rude, dispectful and would not care less about the well-being of his customers. There were no elevators, but only a skinny, old,... More

This hotel is extremely dirty, there were urine on the bathroom floor, the bath tub was blocked so there water couldn't go down. It was -3c and all I got was a thin piece of blanket, they refuse to give me any extra. Also I've heard what i think was prostitutes screaming from the room, it was really loud at... More

Myself & my husband found this place on 'cheaphotels.co.uk' and sincerely wish we hadn't. After searching for places to stay in NY, it was a much cheaper alternative to stay in NJ, and still very close. We were visiting Canada from the UK so this was a trip within a holiday so we were looking for cheapness. This hotel is... More

I spent 4 nights here in the summer of 2008. I should have read the reviews but I was desperate to get accomodation in NJ/NY. Yes this hotel is awful! First, the person at the entrance doesn't speak much English so claims not to understand you. Then you walk up the carpetless staircase (3 floors in my case). I wasn't... More

What do people expect out of an $80 hotel in Jersey? It's a cheap hotel, and it shows, but it was comfortable and clean, and it takes 20 minutes from leaving the hotel to getting to downtown Manhattan. Buses leave every 10-15 min during the day from the bottom of the road and go to Penn Station. Getting home late... More
