31 Street Broadway Hotel — Hotel in New York

DO YOUR RESEARCH before putting any of your money into this place!! DO NOT go alone if you are a female traveling.||I had lower expectations of this hotel before coming here because I understood it was a hotel in the middle of the city, but I NEVER EVER could have expected anything like this stay.||(Disclaimer: Every claim made in this review is in no-way a “false statement”.||The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise.

Over $500 was spent when not even everyone was able to fit into the room.||2. I was followed into the WOMAN’s bathroom by a MAN who began shaking my stall door asking for me to “show him what’s behind the door”. He would not leave. I was made uncomfortable to the point of calling the police. I then locked myself in the hotel room the rest of the night.||3. The hotel claimed I MADE UP the bathroom incident out of rage.||4. The hotel claims that it is non-smoking, however none of the smoke detectors in the hallway were working, and multiple people were smoking right in the middle of the hallway.||LOCATION:||This is the middle of NYC so traffic and people being heard at all hours of the night is to be expected.||Overall, our experience at this hotel was awful. We could barely...

I honestly had no complaints about the room or stay itself. It was a cheap hotel, I was expecting a basic room without anything extra and during my stay that's what I got. However, I had to pay a deposit before checking into the hotel in cash. I'm used to it being on credit but no big deal. After checking out they said I would have to wait a few days and then call them to get my deposit mailed back to me. Strange but I understood. They have to check the room, make sure I didn't break anything. That's the last I saw of that money.||||I call multiple times after about my deposit, and each time I was told the office was closed and to call back later. No specific time was ever given of course but each time I called back it was the same excuse. After a month of this they said that they probably don't have my deposit anymore so I escalated my call to the booking site Expedia. When they called them the hotel said that I, quote "did not return the key to the staff after the guest checked out and the accommodation has to change the lock and produce new sets of the keys and the cost for this process was $135.00||Therefore the guest still obligated to pay for the remaining cost of changing the lock and producing new keys."||This was a lie. I handed the key directly to the front desk employee who checked me in the first night and there is probably security footage showing that. Unfortunately I didn't record myself handing the key to front desk as I was not expecting my deposit to get stolen and for them to lie about it. With no way to prove that I didn't have the key (how was I supposed to prove I didn't have an item I don't have?), that they lied about making a new key and changing the locks, or anyway to access the security footage proving I handed them the key back, I basically had my $120 stolen.||||There's little I can do about this other than warn other people away from staying at this hotel. Just shell out extra to another hotel without a sketchy reputation and...
