Heh. #6 on that list is the Tampa Stadium Days Inn. It's quite sold out this weekend. Hope everyone there gets their money's worth.

I can't believe the Pennsylvania Hotel across from Madison Square Garden is not #1. What a shiathole.

sometimes I wonder what farkers houses would look like under a black light?

Well it's the dirtiest Hotel, not the dirtiest Motel.

I stayed in a Motel 6 once. Beer was supplied.

You've clearly never seen the Carter. I worked on the street outside it once and there was a steady stream of crackhead-types in and out of the place all night long. Most of them arguing loudly.

Another time I had reason to go in to the General Managers office there. He was around 300 pounds and had smoked a pack a day in a tiny office with the window closed for 20 years. I was a heavy smoker at the time and I almost puked from the stench.

/sorry, too easy

Actually, $120 might be alot of money for a room where subby lives, but in NYC, that's the very low end of the scale.

"$120 a night, proving money can't buy class"

Sure it can, but in NYC, $120 a night, is considered low class.

Best hotel i've ever stayed at was the Holiday Inn Express

I googled and found a Howard Johnson's in Queens for $64 a night.

FTFA: "DON'T LOOK UNDER THE BED!" another cautions. (Apparently, used tissues aren't the only risk. In 2007, a hotel housekeeper discovered a woman's body stuffed into a trash bag under the mattress; she had been murdered by the previous night's paying guest.)

AAH!! AAH!! AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! OH MY GAHD!!! HOLY MARY MOTHER OF FARK!!! WHAT THE FARK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!! HOLY SHIAT!!!

***shudders***

Sorry, but it's either Motel 6 (except for the one in Birmingham AL, there were some gal's nasty black draws under the bed there), Rodeway Inn, Drury Inn, La Quinta or Ashland Motel in Ashland, Oregon.

/still shuddering

Apartments are cheaper in Queens also. It's not midtown Manhattan.

While the Carter is no doubt nasty, I could direct the Trip Advisor to any number of places in Sao Paulo Brasil that are far, far worse.

Brown tap water would be a step up.

Hotel Ibis in SP seemed like a 5 Star in comparison.

lol

Queens. Might as well be upstate

"there's a dead farking WHORE in there!"

Midtown Manhattan for $120 a night? That's not an attempt to buy class.

/Try the Tempo on 73rd St. It's not fancy at all, but it's a lot cheaper than a hotel, and it's not gross.

Out of desperation, I spent a night in the Carter back in 2000 when it was $99. There was a disabled marching band staying as well and they played their tubas in the lobby. The room wasn't that bad, but not great either. I remember being creeped out by the feel of the sheets...a stereotypical flashing red neon sign lit up the window and a jack-hammer ran all night. Good times.

Yes, he admits, "if you stayed in a Marriott and came to the Carter, you're going to think this is a dump."

I barely clean in my own home and I think the place is a dump. When I turn the faucet on, I can drink what comes out of it. There are no dead bodies under my bed. And I pay significantly less than $120 a night for these privileges.

stayed in a shiat hole Days inn in Dallas one time a race weekend and no good rooms. Every table top in the room had hundrededs of cig burns, holes in the ceiling. Carpet you would not have liked. And when I called the front desk they I could leave but they would not refund my money, They wanted to rerent the room.

I've stayed there (impulse Greyhound ride from DC to NYC) so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

It was 5:30 a.m. As you might imagine, the lobby was decorated in early down-at-the-heels. It wasn't QUITE "wretched hive of scum and villainy," but there were some scary looking folks in the lobby.

I got my room key, went up, took one look at my assigned room and went back downstairs.

"Sir," I said politely, "I need to see about getting a different room, please."

The desk clerk looked at me with irritation. "Why?"

"There's something wrong with the bed."

"What's wrong with it?"

"There are people in it. You might want to give them a call, those ladies seemed rather concerned when I opened their door and flipped on the light."

The scary looking folks in the lobby cracked up, and I promptly got a new room.

First and only time I ever had two women in my bed (it was mine, I had paperwork for it) and I had to go and ruin it.

I like the manager's attitude. Maybe next year we won't be the dirtiest hotel in the country, he tells the guy interviewing him for a story in USA Today. Anything's possible, right?

Did the hotel come with a uf(ist)ia?
/DNRTFA

La Quinta in Spanish means, "Next to Denny's"

It's come to something when a Scot criticises another nation for lack of cleanliness. They seem to leave a trail of grime and litter wherever they go.

I know the owner of #4, Eden Roc. Never stayed there, but wouldn't based on her. She couldn't understand why the pool had turned green. She had never put any chemicals in it.

"Did they misbehave?"

My sister is getting gangbanged at a Red Roof tonight so I'm getting a kick out of these replies

/actually the Red Roof is pretty clean
//i'm a Marriott girl myself

If Ipay $120 for a room I want a live hooker in it.

Next time, stay at The New Yorker. Comparable price, MUCH cleaner rooms. Although I know that's not saying much.

/New Yorker rooms were TINY
//A/C didn't work in the first room we were given.
///Nearly killed myself in the shower because it's an old ceramic tub. Incredibly slippery.

Do you know if there's room for one more?

The important thing with a hotel room is to leave it nastier than the way you found it.

Anyone every stay at the Catalina in Lexington? I have driven by repeatedly and always wondered about it.

NYC is over-rated in so many ways.

I gave up driving there. It's a government institution of highway robbery.

Is it bad I want to have a stereotypical NYC experience like this myself?

You and subby should get together over dinner and swap travel stories. Someplace classy, like IHOP or AM/PM.

Heh...When I went on my freak tirade I was looking for either a good picture of the dead whore cut into the mattress, or Ted's reaction to seeing it the first time...

"You're not going to be impressed," warns desk clerk Steve Nuñez, handing over the key to Room 807 and a $128 receipt for a night's stay at New York's Hotel Carter. "Most people don't spend much time in their rooms."

I was going to say that I hope this guy's been sending his resume out because he's definitely going to be canned after that comment, but it really sounds like this place just doesn't give a fark.

That's a can-do attitude. Smithers, promote that man!

The Sandpiper Inn in Galveston is the worst place I ever stayed.

One of the managers drowned there during Ike and the place hasn't reopened. It probably won't, as it should be.

Hey. Good hotel rooms can be had for less than $120. Just not anywhere near Times Square. The cheapest motel in Guelph, Ontario is a whopping $65 CDN/night, and it's actually pretty decent, but what is there to DO here other than ogle hippie girls? There's no Apple Store, that's for sure.

thinks I stayed at #1. Spent a week there one night.....

QFT. Where the hell does one go to pay for a hotel that's less than $100? Tulsa? $120 is bargain basement cheap in nyc. Last time I stayed in a mid-town Manhattan hotel I dropped $550 for the night on a splurge (usually I stay with friends). And $550 will get you a nice room, but not that nice.

"money can't buy class" isn't really a phrase that applies here.

allthesametome: he line was already long.

either you hate your sister, or you're the most awesome sister ever.

Never stay at the Holiday Inn on Marathon Key. Stinks, mildew, filth, broken a/c. Clerks don't give a fark. If this hotel is your only choice, sleep in your car! Absolutely repulsive.

My personal worst hotel stay in America was at the Lakewood Manor in May of '05. Burned-out light bulbs, stench of cigarette smoke, moldy dresser drawers, no vertical hold on the TV (rendering it unwatchable), pathetic shower, and a robin's nest in the bathroom window.
/at least there was a carafe of cheap wine in one of the drawers
