The Hotel Carter is ideally located steps away from Times Square with easy access on foot or subway to anywhere in Manhattan. The rooms to be honest are average and I can say that fairly because we saw about 4 of them when the phone line didnt work in our first one and apparently in the 4 rooms we looked... More

Great place to stay. The room was ok. They only cleen the rooms evert two-days, so make sure you have enough towels in you room. You can ask for towels and pillows in the reception, they are very friendly. Walking distance to almost everything in Manhatten.

Great location. Average service - the desk didn't really care about reporting of bed bugs. They didn't seem surprised but they did say they would get the guy to "spray". TV fine. Bed sheets and towels were dirty.

Don't expect a luxurious or sofisticated place. This hotel is perfect if you're traveling on a budget, plan to spend the whole day travelling around the city and just need a place to sleep. The location is excellent, since it is two blocks from Port Authority Bus Terminal and Times Sq./ 42 St. Subway stations, which allows you to get... More

This may not make any sense, but all of the good reviews and bad reviews are equally right. It all depends on your point of view. If you've been used to staying at hotels/motels that have "decor", "style" and "class", and especially "services" and "amenities", then you probably will hate and even fear the Carter. Because they have none of... More

The location is superb,walking distance to many Manhattan highlights-the accommodation is basic-no meals but drinks and snack machines in the lobby and a good deli immediately next door-recommend the Mexican hot chocolate and cinnamon apple tea.For meals Manhattan has so much to offer.Rooms clean(ish) but do negotiate on arrival for a better room if the allocated room is an un-modernised...

Two seconds from time square- its best feature. As everyone has said it is really cheap and that's what you get. Staff were fine- not rude, not overly competent but they were fine. Reception area is big with wifi and computers which was very helpful when trying to look for an apartment (pretty good for people watching too). Our room... More

This is a very basic hotel, pretty much only a place to store your belongings, take a shower, and sleep, but in a very good location and at a very good price. I had a room on one of the top floors, so the noise was not a problem. The room was surprisingly spacious, the bed was ok, and the... More

Booked this hotel in New York despite having read reviews. Basically you get what you pay for. Its cheap by New York standards, but great if your only staying a couple of nights. Wouldn't book this hotel if I was visiting NY for any longer than a couple of days. Fine if you just want to get your head down... More

If you choose this hotel pray to not have any problems, otherwise it will not be a good experience because you will be dealing with dishonest people. In my last day in NY, me and my boyfriend left the luggages in the hotel to be able to walk through the city until our flight time. When we arrived in the... More
