Hotel Carter: "Didn't Get Killed Mugged or Infected"
The NY Times recently visited Hotel Carter one of our favorite Times Square "budget hotels", and we use that term very loosely.
In the rooms upstairs, tales of lodging woe unfolded. One guest said his television played the sound from one channel but showed the picture from another. A couple in Room 500 said they were surprised to discover that they did not have a closet. And a businesswoman from Ukraine on the 23rd
floor found that she liked her room better in the dark. "If the curtains close, light is off, it's not that bad," she said.
It is not all bad news:
The city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted an inspection for rodents in July and found no cause for action, according to the report.
Furthermore, the lobby is a noted people watcher's paradise--it takes all kinds. However, our best review of Hotel Carter will always be this:
Didn't get killed, mugged or infected!!
We appreciate this tipsters forbearance and lack of expectations.
