Subsequently the hotel produced a bed bug report showing no infestation but it begs the question of what was biting me. There are no safety/security boxes in the rooms meaning a wait at the front desk every time I wanted to access the box. There is a major issue also with the front desk and the staff there. There was nearly always a queue...

When I complained to the front desk, the apathetic response I got was, "well, that's the room you booked." Are you kidding me? Lesson learned. Never again at this establishment. Only reason I gave cleanliness a 2 is because it was bed bug free.

Now I don't think they have a bed bug infestation because I think we'd have tons more, but each one of us had between 3-7 new bites each morning. My skin is crawling right now just thinking about it. I pray we didn't carry any home with us!

On Feb 17 2012 New York Newbie wrote, I stayed in a corner suite on the 39th floor Jan. 14-16, 2012. I slept in the sleeper sofa bed, and I checked for bed bugs but saw no evidence of them. I ended up with no bites of any kind. The couple in the regular bed made no complaints of bites or itching, either. Seemed to be a very clean place! I would stay there again.

On Aug 27 2011 Several bedbug-like bites after the first and second night stay (after the first night I thought maybe it was not from the hotel, but after another night of sleep and new bites found, it seems very likely there were bugs in the room), not very surprising given their history of bedbug reports

It was soo noisy all I could hear were doors slamming at all hours of the night and people talking outside my door and the elevator noises all night long.

On May 31 2011 Stayed here in room 3609 from May 22-29, 2011. No bedbugs. Clean room. No problems. At the check-in desk, when I expressed concern about bed bug possibilities, the employee explained that when the rooms turn over, after the maid cleans, the supervisor comes and inspects the room. And after that inspection, the manager comes and inspects the room. My brother and his wife stayed in room 3601 May 26 and...

On Apr 17 2011 A TripAdvisor Member wrote, I stayed April 16th 2011, without looking at reviews. We left this morning with bed bug bites everywhere. Location and service is fine but I obviously would not return because they are most definitely infested. Also, the shower was scorching hot and the only way to fix it was to shut the hot water off completely but that may have been an issue only in the room I stayed in.

On Mar 30 2011 This hotel was absolutely tragic. We were told that the hotel's bed bug issue had been fully taken care of year's ago, when we checked in, that was not at all the case for both us and our friends. BOTH our beds had bed bug infestations in the pillows and between the sheets. I have never had an issue with a hotel in my life til I checked into the New Yorker. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

This place is registered on the bed bug registry so I was cautious when checking in. I immediately requested another room and was transferred into another comparable room. No upgrade, no discount, just another room. I'd recommend not staying here unless you have lots of $ to possibly eradicate bed bugs from your home....

Downsides: The small room, the view, the hard beds (however, bedbug free!), the scratchy sheets, and the lack of anywhere for my dog to do her business. We eventually find a pile of mulch outside of Macy's, but I wouldn't walk there alone at night.

On Nov 16 2010 ...realized that it was the same hotel as The Ramada Plaza New Yorker (there are two listings on the bed bug registry - one clean, one with reports of bed bugs). I did all the research on how to search a room and performed a thorough one immediately upon entering. Was prepared to cause a HUGE fuss/insist on a refund with even the tiniest sign of infestation.

Did not see anything but it is impossible to be thourough with the limited space you have and the way they have beds anchored, covers, etc. Only stayed one night.

On Nov 7 2010 Stayed at the New Yorker Hotel Nov 2010. Bad news: after lifting the mattress, I saw bed bug ____ matter marks ( black spots) on box spring cover. My family member who is currently battling bed bugs, advised to get the ____ out of that room. I requested another. This time I saw what appeared to be a few blood marks and molted skeletons of bed bugs on box spring cover, at head of the bed. GOOD NEWS:...
