Firstly I must point out that I had read many reviews on the tripadvisor and had mixed expectations prior to booking. I booked this hotel mainly for the location which is right on Times Square, New York City. I booked a room for 3 all male party of friends via Travel Republic who are based in London - my booking...

Room was average but nothing that I didn't expect from previous reviews, I wasn't horrified by it, was clean and comfortable. I think I said to my friend was a $40 hotel room in a $400 location. As other people said if you are there to check out New York and won't really be spending much time other than sleeping... More

The Hotel Carter is ideally located steps away from Times Square with easy access on foot or subway to anywhere in Manhattan. The rooms to be honest are average and I can say that fairly because we saw about 4 of them when the phone line didnt work in our first one and apparently in the 4 rooms we looked... More

Great place to stay. The room was ok. They only cleen the rooms evert two-days, so make sure you have enough towels in you room. You can ask for towels and pillows in the reception, they are very friendly. Walking distance to almost everything in Manhatten.

Great location. Average service - the desk didn't really care about reporting of bed bugs. They didn't seem surprised but they did say they would get the guy to "spray". TV fine. Bed sheets and towels were dirty.

Don't expect a luxurious or sofisticated place. This hotel is perfect if you're traveling on a budget, plan to spend the whole day travelling around the city and just need a place to sleep. The location is excellent, since it is two blocks from Port Authority Bus Terminal and Times Sq./ 42 St. Subway stations, which allows you to get... More

This may not make any sense, but all of the good reviews and bad reviews are equally right. It all depends on your point of view. If you've been used to staying at hotels/motels that have "decor", "style" and "class", and especially "services" and "amenities", then you probably will hate and even fear the Carter. Because they have none of... More

The location is superb,walking distance to many Manhattan highlights-the accommodation is basic-no meals but drinks and snack machines in the lobby and a good deli immediately next door-recommend the Mexican hot chocolate and cinnamon apple tea.For meals Manhattan has so much to offer.Rooms clean(ish) but do negotiate on arrival for a better room if the allocated room is an un-modernised...

Two seconds from time square- its best feature. As everyone has said it is really cheap and that's what you get. Staff were fine- not rude, not overly competent but they were fine. Reception area is big with wifi and computers which was very helpful when trying to look for an apartment (pretty good for people watching too). Our room... More
