Manhattan Adult Entertainment: The dirt on ‘filthiest’ of NY’s hotels
The Times Square inn — voted the nation’s sixth-filthiest hotel and worst in the Big Apple last week by travelers on Tripadvisor.com — is a throwback to the dirty old days of the 1970s, when hotels like this one rented rooms by the hour, not the week.
The beat-up facade on Eighth Avenue, near the corner of West 47th Street, sports a faded blue and white sign, and inside, guests are greeted by a smiling clerk who waves them up a rickety staircase.
In Room 307, The Post found orange mold in the shower, a chipped toilet seat, ill-fitting ceiling tiles stained with water and piles of dust behind the headboard.
“Like drugs, rats and prostitution? Stay here,” wrote “Singo,” an English guest who entered his room to find a hotel cleaner sitting on the bed, smoking and watching TV.
