They obviously hadn't done anything about the bed bugs. Just stayed there, not knowing they had bed bugs, and seen the bugs in the bed the next day. Lots of them. Room #1432

Just wanted to add on here, I contacted the health department in Manhattan, the city, major, and different public offices and no one will do anything. It seems this has been happening for quite some time and they just stopped caring about it.

This place is completely infested with bud bugs and mice, even worse the electric sockets and wires are bad. New York needs to tear this building down!

THEY ARE EVERYWHERE AND MICE TOO. AT LEAST 40 BITES FROM THE BUGS NOT TO MENTION THE 4 OR 5 BITES OUT OF THE CHOCOLATE BAR IN MY LUGGARGE FROM THE LOCAL MICE POPULATION. THIS HOTEL IS ONE GIANT SCIENCE EXPERIMENT GONE WRONG. STAY AWAY DONT STAY THERE EVEN IF THEY PAY YOU.

NEVER USE THIS HOTEL. Stayed here in Oct 2009. Its cheap for a reason - the rooms are infested. I woke up with bites up and down my arms and feet. And to add insult to injury, some of the bugs hitched a lift home in my luggage and 3 months later I ended up having to bring my OWN BED back home to the dump because it was now infested too.
This hotel is an absolute health hazard - see TripAdvisor for many, many more reports on bedbug and other issues with this dreadful hotel.

Stayed at the hotel carter for 2 nights, first in rm 1023 and woke up with blood spots and black marks on the sheets. We later on found 3 bedbugs and promptly switched rooms. Didn't have problems with our next room on th 14th floor, but didn't sleep too soundly after the first encounter.

It was december 21st 2008. We had just moved in three people in a four person room at the hotel when we decided to take a nap before venturing out into the city.
After having slept for 1½ hour i suddenly hear my one friend startle up and pull my other friend out of his bed yelling that there are bugs in the bed. I quickly get up and realize that they were all over the place. I saw at least 5 crawling in my bed that had ll fed on me and were all red and bloated.
When reporting it to manage
ment, the chinese lady just suggested she would get us a new room. In the process of moving in to the next room we became aware of an austrian couple that had just been moved to their THIRD room and the boyfriend had bites all over his face.
Out second room smelled exactly like the first one, like new fresh paint. This smell - I have later been told - is the smell of bedbug poison. So we realized that most of the hotel must be infected.
I overheard a conversation between management and another client complaining, and they were told that \"Thats what you get when living so cheaply just next to time square\" and that there were not going to do anything about it.
I guess health risks is no longer a minimum requirement.
Our room was 1640. We checked out without staying the night.

Dec 31, 2008. Friends stayed at the hotel. I was supposed to but didn't. All three who stayed have bedbugs and I do not!
Watch out this hotel definitely has bed bugs!

Wish I found this site BEFORE I booked and stayed in the Hotel Carter the night of Saturday December 13th, 2008!
My daughter and I had room 824. Glad I asked for 2 beds cause apparenly only mine was infested as she had no bites. I have a total of about 30 bites under my left arm, along my left chest, on my back, on the back top of my right thigh, and on my right arem. I remember tossing and turning and waking up alot. I did find a small blood smear on the sheet in the morning, and I looked un
der the sheets and saw nothing. The bites didn't start itching till later in the morning, and when I got hom and took off my clothes I couldn't BELIEVE how many HUGE itchy burning welts there were!
When we were checking in some German giurls in their pajamas were at the front desk complaining about mice eating food that was INSIDE their luggage! that should have been a big clue to RUN!
We did not report it as I didn't relize i was covered with bites till Sunday night.

I knew what I could expect at this hotel;low budget rooms.
When I entered the room I kinda thought it was ok, till the next day.
I experienced a lot of itching when I was sight seeing the finance district.
When I got back to my room I took off my shirt and looked in the mirror.
O MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew I was allergic to insect bites/stings, but this was beyond any previous experiences.
My back was covered with big red bubbles concentrat
ed at locations on my back, (left) shoulder area and arm.
I instantly though of musquito bites, so I told my room mates not to open the window anymore. Next day I had more sting marks on my lower left leg and my left wrist, so I researched this stuff at the internet. I kinda got to this site and eventually on wikipedia.
BTW, my friends in the same room had some stings aswell, but the reaction wasn't that intense, and the amount of stings was more close to than to 100.
This hotel ruined my week in New York despite the things I did.
My advice to you: Don't visit this hotel, You should rather go to a more expensive one.
Hotel Carter Bed Bugs on 11/15/2008
From October 30 to November 6, I stayed in rooms 1038 and then room 1506. The reason for 2 rooms is simple...when I came back to the hotel after being out most of the day, I discovered my room, 1028 had been cleaned and ALL of my things were gone. I complained to this amazingly inept Korean woman that works there and after finding my things she gave me another room, 1506. This is the room with the bed bugs...I swear I had over 100 bites on my arms, legs, and hands. The first room had mice to
o, didn\'t want to forget about them.
So...PLEASE listen to me...DO NOT STAY at this rat infested, bed-bug-riden, hole in the wall.
Thank you,
Have a good day.

I stayed in the Hotel Carter on October 6th 2008 in room 1800. It was my last night of the round the world trip and having stayed here before I thought it was good value.
On my flight home the next day I noticed red lumps coming up on my arms and 2 days later I ended up in A&E for 15 hours with my arms, legs and face covered in huge itchy bed bug bites.
The doctors confirmed (having taken numerous blood tests) that it was a very aggressive case of bed bugs, or some similar lice on the bed
.
Take my advice and do not stay here, as I'm still having an allergic reaction almost a week later.
Hotel Carter on 09/22/2008
Please please listen to my advice: HOTEL CARTER is very dirty and HAS BED BUGS.
I traveled from San Francisco to New York City and stayed at the hotel on September 23-25, 2008. The address of the hotel is on 250 W 43rd St and we stayed on the 8th floor.
I got over twenty bed bug bites. They are painful and itchy!!!! In addition to bed bugs, there is no room service, the room we stayed in was very dirty, trash was left from previous occupants, and I had to spend a bunch of money to make
sure I didn’t take the bugs with me to SF!!
Please, please, know that they have bed bugs!

i was laying in bed reading a book when a small bug crawled across the pages, I startled and brushed him off, a few mins later it happened again, and I thought it may be the same bug (i thought it might be a baby roach). When it happened a third time, i knew it wasn't the same bug. I them looked over at the white sheets of the other bed and saw 3 similar bugs crawling. I had never seen a bedbug before, but I knew this had to be them, so I examined one closely, and didn't sleep the rest of the ni
ght. The next day I looked online and realized I was indeed dealing with bedbugs. 100% sure.
