As a doctor, having stayed only one day in this Hotel I also experienced multiple extremely itchy bites over my legs so it might be a good idea to consider another one and check out the mattress, the rug and basically everything before you get your shut eye.


i first stayed in room 754 and its was so horrible and dirty that after 2 days i asked to move. people next door were smoking and partying all night long.
After telling reception about the dripping shower all night long, the dirty carpets , the light bolb coming out of the lamp...and broken beds,lady at reception wasnt really worried about my complains so she put me in a new room 720A that at first seemed nice and clean , until the last night i saw a bed bug on the floor and my body full of bit

es , legs, neck , face, arms and butt.
Came back home and when opened the suitcase a bed bug came out of it , and 2 days later i had to get pest control to clean my all flat.
Never again in my life will i stay in this hotel.

Checked into room 702A after waiting over 90 minutes in a line that wasn't nearly long enough to justify how slowly it moved. I found a bedbug within seconds after entering the room. The "manager" did not seem to be concerned or surprised. Had to put a hold on the credit card to stop the charge.


4/20-21/11 room 1441 . Woke middle of night itching, bed bug bites all over - wrist, back, butt and legs.
Also bare wires, uncovered outlets, light not working. Worst scalding/freezing shower. Old hairpins on floor .


We checked into the hotel on March 4th and were given room 789 upon opening the door we were shocked. It was disgusting worst hotel room I have ever seen. My wife immediately started to cry, I returned to the front desk and demanded another room. This room was not much better and I am no expert but I can be almost positive that the black beady things were bed bug larvae. We went to Kmart which is just around the corner and purchased a tarp and king size sheet which we tucked in tight and that is

how we laid all weekend( NO SLEEP )We will never go back there or recommend this hotel to anyone.

Three colleagues of mine as well as myself were going to a conference for NP's in Feb, 2011. We found bed bugs in one of our rooms and were asked to re-locate but we refused as the chances of finding more would have been high.

My colleagues got all their money back, but myself and the other colleague had to pay for ours. The irony of it all is that we all stayed in each other's rooms, but b/c they didn't find anything in our room it wasn't enough evidence.

The other irony about all of th

is is that the speaker for our conference is a Health Care Professional (NP) and KNEW about the bed bugs and continued to have her conferences there! Not only did we spend money to travel to NYC, but we paid for the bug bites too!

I would NEVER go back to NYC after this incident! I'm so proud to be Canadian!

I've stayed at this hotel several times including as recent as Nov 2010 and have never seen a bed bug. It's an older hotel, but good for the price. The only problems are cosmetic in the hallways...maybe some fresh paint would help. But the rooms are comfortable...no bed bugs seen and I was looking. Good location and friendly housekeeping staff.


The hotel was recommend to us by friends. Unfortunately it was super cheap which set off alarm bells. Well upon checking in we checked the bed and sure enough there were bed bugs. I took a picture with my iPhone and went to check out! The guy said he couldn't print a reciept and I wouldn't leave without one- so he went back to the manager and he came out with it magically! Crappy place is gross. We decided to sleep and wait for train in Penn Station.

My son checked in there today knowing full well of bedbug reports for this hotel.He even spoke with them prior to their arrival about the bedbug reports. Their response was that it happened a couple of months ago and is no longer a problem. However, he is with a college group and had no choice but to stay there. Believe me, we wanted him to stay somewhere else!

Armed with a wallet placard on bedbugs from Cornell

and way too much bedbug advice from Mom, it was no problem spotting the signs of them in his first hotel room.Considering the room was on the Club floor he said the room was disgusting! He reported his findings to the desk and was moved to a room on the same floor which was much nicer than the first. They were vigilant in looking for bedbugs in the next room and could not find any sign of them. Nonetheless, they have put their luggage in black garbage bags (which they brought with them knowing the extreme bedbug presence at this hotel)and put them in the bathtub.

Everyone should print a copy of the wallet placard on bedbugs and carry it with them when they travel.

Stay tuned I will get room numbers.

We stayed in room 877 for 3 days, 29th of september 2010 until 2nd october and the last day my fiance discovered red spots on his wrist. We're from Sweden, and bedbus are really rare for us (it only appears because we bring it in from other countries as we travel more in modern time) so we didn't know what is was until we got home and he went to a doctor after his bites got worse. We now fear that we have brought them home. I recommend that you choose another hotel, and look for blood on the she

ets before you unpack att your hotel. I found out that bedbugs are very common in New York and the little bugs are really hard to get rid of!

10th August 2010, room on 14th floor, my girlfriend and I stayed one night and she woke with bites which quickly swelled and itched in the morning. We then stayed with friends in Boston and were ok, but then returned to a different NY hotel and again received bites as well as found an actual bug in the bed, which when killed was full of blood...


Our family stayed in room 780 from July 15 to July 19, 2010. On July 22, we noticed strange bugs in the room we brought our luggage into. I caught one and identified as a bedbug on the internet. The exterminator confirmed. Very expensive hotel stay now my house has to be exterminated.
