Aug 2011, Kaye

This hotel is certainly a destination for "budget" holidays and so it was not surprising that it was shabby and dirty - my 3 friends and I (all girls aged ~23) had prepared for this eventuality given that we were touring America for a long period of time. What was... more

Giving this hotel a 1 is generous. The rooms are filthy; our room was not cleaned once during our stay. We were provided two small towels (I would use them as hand towels at home as they were so small), for a 5 night stay two towels for two adults is not enough, especially... more

Never stay at this hotel. Although it is centrally located in Times Square and the prices seem reasonable, it is the most disgusting place I have ever seen. I wish I had have read reviews before we booked it. On arrival at the Carter the first thing we noticed was the tacky... more

The Hotel Carter is located on west 43rd Street, just of Times Square. The best thing that can be said of this hotel is its location and price. At $100 a night, this is one of the few cheap hotels in New York City that also includes an en suite bathroom. The hotel itself... more

If you have any sense, DO NOT USE THIS TOUR OPERATOR, they left my sister and her boyfriend high and dry in NYC as they over booked the CARTER hotel by many bookings. They were not alone.... the rooms were dirty and basic is not the word...disgusting...the emergency phone... more

First of all the staff are nasty, rude, people, not too much English. The whole place smells like fried cabbage, the room was about 10X10, carpet for a head board, people had wrote their names on the wall in are room, nasty dirty carpet that was pieced together out of... more

There are basic hotels, and then - there is Carter; this is a separate category. The filthy, dirty, smelly hotel is governed by uniquely rude and incompetent staff. Our reservations were ignored, and despite the fact that we called to confirm the reservation and to let the... more

Unfortunately minus ratings are not available. I booked this hotel due to its price & location, A budget Hotel for a budget traveller ... no problem I thought "It couldn’t be that bad" From the start I knew I had made an error, the staff were rude getting my back up... more

We arrived at the Hotel to be greeted by 6 Chinese people sat on the floor in reception eating food. It turned out that these people were the family of the owner, we arrived at the check in desk and gave our paperwork to a much stressed young man. He asked the Chinese... more

Do not stay there!!!!! It is filthy from the moment you walk in, in the elevator, down the hallway, and worst of all the room itself.....The hotel staff at check in is very accommodating however they have nothing better to offer than a dirty room... This hotel should... more

Can you say HAUNTED?
I would like to start off by saying that the lady at the front desk was RUDE! The bell guy was nice as well as the cleaning girl. We started out at a nicer hotel but wanted to save some money so we would have more money to spend eating and shopping. When I first enterded our room I felt a little creeped out - I decided it was because the hotel was an old one and and left it at that. Now I am not one who is scared by much - but I could not sleep any of the 4 nights we were there. When I did fall asleep I was woke up by .. umm.. something in... more
Run away -- FAST!
We stayed here in Nov. 2002 and it was awful! We were on the 17th floor and only one of the three elevators worked only part of the time. Our headboards on the bed were made out of carpet and the tile in the bathroom was held up with scotch tape. The grill in the door let us hear everyone talking in the hallway all night long! Thank God it was only for one night -- that was more than enough!
was good
if you don't expect the hilton, carter is a fine, cheap and clean place to stay. The rooms are cleand evry day and the owners are friedly. Staying in the carter is the best solution to be in the center of the big apple for not too much money
Don't be put off by the reviews - The Carter is habitable!
I was on my way to NYC on very short notice, which left me with practically just two options regarding accomodation: either pay 300 $ at a **** hotel or then 89$ at The Carter. I read the reviews on this page and decided to try The Carter despite the horrendous opinions. My brave decision was mainly due to the fact that the few Europeans that had posted a review found the hotel acceptable - as far as Americans are concerned, nothing is ever good enough for the (No offence, though!)Well, arriving at the hotel I thought I would practically... more
Dump
The Hotel Carter is a total dump. This is where welfare people vacation in NY. Dont even think of staying there. THe mattresses look like hammocks they are so old and there is literally 2 inches of dust under the beds. The TV was so old it had only 13 channels. The AC was broken. The bellman wanted $20 to get us in all the citys cool clubs even though we didnt ask. Of course he was lying in the first place. Total dump. New York has a lot of these dump hotels. To bad as they really need the visitors right now but they hotels are... more
No-tell Motel
The on-line pictures of the rooms are inaccurate at best! The minute you walk in the door the experience heads down hill. Nasty lobby, rude desk clerk, antiquated elevators - enter at your own risk!! Stay at the risk of your mental health and physical well-being! The rooms smelled of urine. Door knobs were missing on the bathrooms. The bathroom looked like it had never been cleaned. The tile was covered in mold. The handle fell off the shower faucet. The window would not shut, so the room was extremely cold. There were no controls for heat... more
Disgracefull
This hotel is disgrace full, nasty , the staff does not speak english, are we not in the United States. Nasty, Nasty, you know that it is bad whn the NYPD tell you to get out of the hotel for your safty. What ever you do , spend the extra money, do not stay in this dump.
looks bad from the hilton
Looking from the Hilton @ 42nd street, I am glad I paid the extra $100 a night for my stay. With the lites burnt out at night it says Carter HTE which I believe may stand for Carter Hell Tonight Everlasting. Good Luck.
Yikes!
I have stayed at this hotel in the past, but it is not very nice. It is in a prime New York area for tourists, but is very run down. My biggest memory was of all of the roaches in the bathrooms that come up through the pipes at night! Don't expect the Hilton.
I agree with the others who stayed here!!!
My husband and I originally booked at the Habitat Hotel, online, about a week before we were scheduled to be in the city. We did not get our room at Habitat, because a pipe broke, and were, instead, offered an "upgrade" to the Hotel Carter. As soon as we got into the lobby, I knew that we were in for something to be remembered! First of all, the original rates for the Habitat Hotel were supposed to be honored. The person behind the desk was rude, and insisted that they had no rooms for the price we were to pay at the original hotel. It... more
