New York City: Carter - Deals and Reviews - You will contract a parasite if you stay here: "I have stayed in some disgusting hotels, but they are usually tolerable if the staff is nice and friendly. When I said I had a reservation, the lady said, '$89 Now.' They have no manners and in fact barged in my room while I was sleeping to ask me when I was leaving. They lost my reservation and messed it up 2 times after that. The 'cable TV' they offer has one channel on it. The bathroom had about 2 plys of toilet paper in it when I checked in, and the worst part: The pillowcases read in bright red, 'Wanna ?'
You are better off renting a place by the hour."

I'm off to New York on sunday, but I think I booked the wrong hotel...
