After you check in and get into your room - most people's first thoughts would be: "Oh my God, what have I done?" Beat up old broken furniture, nothing on the walls, paper thin glass windows, worn out sheets and blanket. Now, the good news: it's cheap and within spitting distance of Times Square and the major broadway shows. When... More

I stayed at Hotel Cater for one night only. It was one of the cheapest options I found online and I thought for one night, what the heck. Upon arrival, on my own, I had one suitcase and a smaller carry bag. A gentleman came from the front counter down the few steps to the entrance and took my case... More

The hotel room was very tiny but clean. It is affordable for 1 block off of Times Square, and I used my hotel only to sleep. I brought my ear plugs and was glad I did! Also, you had to let the shower water heat up for almost 20 minutes! The bottom line - if you are looking for luxury,... More

Having booked 5 days at Hotel Carter last October, we were horrified to read the reviews on Trip Advisor. Well The Ritz Mayfair it is not. But then it doesn't pretend to be. The staff were helpful, the room was clean as were the sheets, and the shower was hot with clean towels. These were changed every two days. For... More

We stayed here 2 weeks before Christmas for one night. I am so happy it wasn't more! Although the location is good, very easy walking distance to Times Square and other attractions, the hotel basically needs to be torn down and remodeled. Old, smelly, beat up and any other terrible things you can think apply here. Uncomfortable bed, a bathroom... More

I am a high school teacher and my class had chosen the Carter Hotel. Unfortunatly was the hotel full of rats. When students returned to their rooms, rats where on the floor. In addition, the rats were eating food from the students' suitcase. Students also got many fleabits. We had booked a total of 12 rooms, and in 6 of... More

Booked this blind for our first trip to New York. Location is superb, close at Times Square, great restuarants on 9th, Central Station, Chrysler Building etc. Room basic but clean and money saved on accomodation could then be spent on holiday (Giants home match huge highlight). If you are only going to use the room to crash then this is... More

The place is a pit. We stayed between X-Mas and New Years, just for a couple nights. First night my wife was up listening to scratching and clawing and chewing and searching for the source. She was pretty sure it was rodents so with some reluctance we allowed them to relocate us to another room in the morning, no other... More

On the face of it this is an awful hotel; no computerised records, small and poky rooms, pretty unclean, often falling apart, very noisy and looks as though its probably full of criminality. However, its ridiculously cheap, beds are comfy and rooms are secure, plus its about 50 paces from Times Square. You really can't ask for more than that... More
