We've heard all the bad things about Trump Soho before but it took us actually being in Soho and looking at the monstrous high-rise to realize just how truly awful this building is.

Aside from ruining the view from other Soho buildings and hotels (like 60 Thompson where this picture was shot), the Trump Soho is totally out of place down here--bringing a midtown feeling to Soho for which we will always hate Donald Trump for doing.

The condo-hotel is also like a bazillion stories high. We're not sure what you like when staying in a hotel but for us, riding an elevator 40+ stories into the sky is not something we look forward to.

That said, we have to admit: This place will probably have some killer views.
