| My friend and I booked to stay at the West Side Inn for 5 nights via the internet. We requested a room with two double beds. When we arrived we were asked what kind of room we wanted...dorm, single!! so no actual room was booked prior to us arriving. Not the worst thing that can happen since they did have rooms available. How wrong we were. My friend suggested we see the room before parting with our hard earned cash. The lift did not work, the paint work in the corridor was peeling off, the linen & towels had actual stains on them. Broken furniture, paint on the windows, a 2 inch gap between the door and the frame, the fridge was infested with cockroaches and don't get me started on the shared bathroom!! We had no choice but to stay here for 1 night and paid a huge sum of $114.00 each. The next day (5am) we left this hovel and went looking for a hotel to stay in for the remainder of our trip. not an easy task since the tourist infomation office had moved, it was a week before Thanksgiving and everywhere was fully booked. However we did find the tourist infomation office and finally we booked into the Murray Hill East Suites at 149 E39th Street. We had a lovely suite of rooms and all for $700. I would suggest NO-ONE ever stays at the West Side Inn, as I can see from other reviews time has not changed a thing for these hotel, sorry hotel, owners!! |
