Hotel Riverview Suddenly Booked Up, Even for 'Janis Joplin'

Further proof that the Hotel Riverview will be the site of Eric MacPherson and Sean Goode's next project? The front desk is telling people they are not taking reservations because they are all booked. Not even if the person is a Janis Joplin impersonator. Brian Mercer emailed us with his disappointment the other day:

Marianne Donnelly is a Janis Joplin impersonator who stayed at this hotel many times and is dearly disappointed that suddenly without any explanation it is not taking reservations and uses the incredibly opaque line, "we are all booked for now." What b.s. Why don't they rent while renovating? Where else could you stay in a private "cubicle" safe and warm for $40 a night in NYC?

Egads, we can't believe the hotel rates were that low at the Riverview. That won't even buy you a doily on a chairback at the Bowery Hotel. But we suspect that if Goode and MacPherson are eyeing Riverview for their next project, they will give the interior a total overhaul, making renting while renovating impossible.

That might be a good thing though. We wouldn't be surprised if there were still beds in there from when the crew of the Titanic stayed over.

    here is the truth

    This comment represents and speaks for all the tenants of "the jane hotel" formally known as the " hotel riverview". Only a small percent of us are left after a year of major harassment consisting of construction,bed bugs,rats and mice. sean macphearson and eric goode do not have any regards for humane rights and that is a fact. We have had to live with that fact,but not for long
