I had read so many shattering reviews of this hotel that I wanted to find out by myself, tired of spending so much money for hotel rooms, too. Ok, the carpet on the stairs leading to the lobby could be cleaner and there was one brick off but the staff at the recpetion was very efficient and friendly. The guy... more

Perfect location and you wounder why it can be so cheap. The answer must be that the hotel is old and has not been renovated at all. Even some of the staff wore old uniforms with hats you only see in movies. We stayed 3 nights. The beds were ok, no flees or any kind of bugs we read about... more

Google dirstiest hotels in america and this one wins. Hope you have fun but i think your taking a big chance. I was thinking of hotel pennisavan but it was rated # 2. I think i can afford this city. more

I never do reviews, but I really feel the need with this horribly misrepresented hotel. My girlfriend and I wantet to visit New York on a budget, so we stayed at Hotel Carter. After reading reviews of horrible rooms, bedbugs, disrepair, disgusting bathrooms, and less than sanitary conditions...I was scared to book here, but I couldnt afford anything more, so... more

It was a broken down hotel making it by disguising itself in the heart of Manhattan. The pictures definitely doesn't represent this hotel. This was the worst hotel I have EVER been in. I wouldn't recommend this hotel. more

This is a basic hotel right in the heart of everything. If you just want somewhere to crash at night after a long day sightseeing this is ideal for you. If you want a place with all the frills then stay somewhere else. I was delighted with the location and the price I paid. more

We stay at the Hotel Carter every time we stay overnight in NYC--four times over an eight-year period (once for a week, the other times over weekends), and each visit was better than the last. We have never seen the vermin or mold reported by other reviewers, nor have we ever felt unsafe in or around the hotel at any... more
