Truly a real dump! Not chic or campy, no...the Carter is a five star world-class dump. Greeted by a inattentive staff with well-developed rudeness and the stay went downhill from there. Room was wall to wall mattress in the hotel's ruse to label the room a double. Decorated with dated carpet squares on the wall the place is bizarre! Our bathroom is hard to rate. I've been in cleaner public facilities in Tiajuana 40 yrs ago. Given a street side room. Ugh, Noisy!! (43rd Ave on a Friday night simply doesn't quite down). Again, this hole is $150.00 a night! Proof in New York that one doesn't need to see a gun to get robbed. Avoid. Sleep in the subway or join the homeless fellow on the sidewalk just outside the Carter. On second thought, he may not be homeless at all but only prefers sleeping outside for free instead of getting fooled into staying inside at the Carter!
