I chose this Hotel because it was on the outskirts of NYC and it was the limit of my travel abilities due to health reasons. All of the reviews stated it is a very clean hotel. The pictures showed cleanliness and updated. Don't be fooled. It's in a very old building and as we arrived, the upper floors apparently aren't part of the hotel. The window shades were broken up, clutter showed in the windows. Just looking at it from the parking lot, I was very hesitant but remembered I was near NYC and perhaps this is how all the hotels are. Once I stepped inside, it was noticeable that it was newly remodeled and updated. Once we stepped into our rooms, I noticed a very strong scent of men's cologne, like an Old Spice Scent. I figured that after someone applied it, they must have sat in the chair. The "odor ' was excessive and immediately, my Asthma kicked in, I could not breath. I spoke with the front desk and asked for another room, explaining the extreme scent. I was told that "they sprayed it on purpose as a deodorizer. All of the rooms smell that way." Why would such a clean looking hotel need so much deodorizer? But what's worse, is what do we do, my throat was swelling, Asthma was causing wheezing and a spinal cord injury meant I couldn't travel anymore. So I slept on the bed closest to the window with it opened all night. As I pulled down the sheets, the smell was exposed even more, it was sprayed on the sheets. If your hotel is so clean, why so much disgusting scent?
