West Side Inn and Hotel

The new Captain Obvious commercial must have been written about the West Side Inn. We bought plastic garbage bags to put on the floor, slept fully clothed, and duck-​taped the window sills that didnt quite closeand left drafts in. Our door was literally a plank of wood about a foot and a half wide. Horrific.

Why isn’t there an option to give ZERO starts?!?
Worst place I have EVER experienced in my life!
I walked in and wanted to cry it was so bad.
Yeah it’s cheap but the website lies. The pictures are decieving and its is just gross.
If you want to get scabies, or some nasty foot fungus because the shower floors are BROWN then stay there.
Seriously i would not recommend this place for ANYONE!

My friend and I were extremely cheap so we chose this place on Orbitz. It was horrid. the inside of the room looked like Charlie’s apartment from «It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia». so it was basically a shit hole.
The bathrooms were even worse. the elevator looked haunted. and our room door didn’t completely close shut. also our window was facing some dude’s apartment where he walked around in his black speedo and half-​shirt.
We certainly got what we paid for… I guess the star is for the decent neighborhood we were in.

So having practically no money, I decided to check this place out. Based on the website, it doesn’t look terrible. I’m not some yokel, I knew I shouldn’t be expecting much, but I didn’t even get that very very low expectation met.
The beds were in slightly worse shape than ones you find out on the street and one of my pillows felt like it was stuffed with shredded paper. The (shared) bathrooms were poorly kept and the showers didn’t have good pressure. I was afraid to touch the carpet with my bare feet for fear of contracting some 19^th century disease that was previously eradicated except for this sty that dared call itself a «hotel».
I think i got bitten by some big ass insect cause I woke up the next morning with a huge red spot on my calf. The only bright spot was that it was the only place in NY that i found a free wi-​fi hotspot… oh, and listening to the sex through the walls wasn’t even interesting!
Don’t go there. it’s not even as cheap as they make it out to be.
