Sloppy

by ilernerm

Just sloppy and unorganized. Looked like an old beaten down version of what used to be a nice hotel. Bed was missing a headboard and pillows were propped up against a dirty wall. Broken curtain rod, no hand soap. Dustballs and dirt all throughout the hotel. Broken elevator. The lobby was empty at 3pm on a Sunday when we arrived to check in. No one greeted us at the door or the front desk. We just waited and waited there with another guest for some one to appear until we decided to walk upstairs to call someone down to check us in. The pro's were - friendly staff, soft bed and good location. But for the price, there are plenty of other hotels at this location.

• Pros: location, soft bed
• Cons: dirty, unorganized, overpriced

yerk !!!

by kakik

- First of all, we slept the first night in the hotel, but the day after the

rooms wasn't made.

- During the second night, at 3:30AM, a vigil entered our rooms; giving as a

pretext that the rooms were occupied by other people. Do the hotel offer more

vacation than they have rooms ? Due to the stress of this intrusion, we weren't

able to sleep anymore this night. Moreover, we had to drive to Québec the day

after.

- Last, the park associated with the hotel was announced $18/24h by a manager of

the park, but was in fact $38/24h. If they can make the difference between a '3'

and a '1' I imagine the troubles with the salaries.

So, I find all these events unacceptable for a city like NY which is shown so

beautiful on TV.

I striclty not recommend you this hotel.

• Cons: , all, all

Great for Students

by Melissa1979

Habitat is ideal for students, or those on a budget, who are more interested in exploring the city than spending time in their hotel. I admit that the shared shower was a bit scary (bring flip flops!), but being so close to the subways and to major shopping areas made it worth it. The only big problem I had was when the staff had trouble finding my reservations and with their reluctance to give me the student discount (which they eventually did). As for the room itself, I found the size okay, but I'm used to dormitory living. Overall, I'd probably go back to the Habitat. It's perfect for those who will be spending a minimal amount of time in their rooms and who have better things to spend their money on than overpriced hotel rooms.

• Pros: Student Discount, Good Location, Access to Transit
• Cons: Shared Showers, Shared Washroom, Web Photos Misleading
