Carvi Hotel New York

No windows

Positiv: Location. The hotel manager was very professional in offering me the opportunity to get a refund for my second night, given inability to sleep, as per comments below. Still waiting for refund though.

Negativ: Room had no windows. Instead, there was a ventilation system that droned on and off all night and kept me awake the entire night. Had to cut my trip short and find another place to stay.

Meh

Positiv: The pillows were good and the towels were clean looking. The staff was friendly and responsive when my TV had no connection.

Negativ: I didn't appreciate that anyone could walk off the street & go up the elevator. There was a full-time front desk attendant, but they couldn't possibly remember every face of people staying there, so anyone could walk past them and have access to your hotel room door. The room was generally run down. Carpet stains, tired bed & bedding, and corners in bathroom were moldy. The worst thing was the shower. It was very small (& I am a small person) and the shower head was terrible, with no way to adjust it, and there was no pressure.

Positiv: - Location is perfect for business travels with a meeting midtown east. -The front desk staff was extremely helpful. - They also had a very nice presentation in the room with two robes laid out, books, and nice decor. - The bathroom was extremely clean with all the products that I needed + more - makeup remover pads! - The TV had ondemand... which let me catch-up on walking.

Negativ: - The room was very small (even for NYC standards) and had no windows. I actually don't care that I didn't have a window since I was there for less than 12 hours I would have just liked to know in advance.
