Probably the worst hotel I've ever stayed in.  The only way it could've been worse was if there were bed bugs.\n\nA bunch of us stayed here for a conference, and I wish we had done a little more research and opted to stay at the numerous better options nearby (Renaissance, Marriott).  The lobby is relatively nice and doesn't really represent the rest of the hotel.  Upon arrival at my room, I noted how large it was - bigger than most NY apartments.  However, that was the most positive part about it.  The kitchen was so old; the fridge smelled and the wall socket barely worked.  When I went to plug in the fridge, the socket went into the wall.  \n\nThe beds were okay, but I couldn't sleep my first night due to the incessant flushing of the toilet.  I just ended up shutting off the water to the toilet, then having to turn it on in the morning.  How had this not been fixed or noticed by housekeeping?\n\nWorst of all was the fire alarms being set off by a storm.  Granted it was a strong storm, but it should not cause alarms to go off.  This required all guests to leave their room and the fire department to come and shut it off.  After speaking to some staff, this has apparently been a consistent problem; a problem no other hotels in the area have.\n\nI know Yelp! has the rule where you aren't supposed to review based on second-hand experiences, but my other colleagues who stayed here reported roaches in the bathroom and other non-paying bugs in the room.\n\n1 star for being the worst hotel in recent memory.  Stay elsewhere, especially at these rates.  I did notice that they are attempting to refresh rooms, so maybe this may change, but as of right now\n\nUnsubstantiated note:  There may or may not have been a prostitution ring busted here a few years ago.
