Morris Guest House

Location and Accessibility: The property offers convenient access to subway stations and is situated near Manhattan, providing good connectivity for travelers. Some guests appreciated its affordability and proximity to essential amenities like grocery stores.

The place is super clean, my only issue was there were only 2 pillows for two people, and I need 2 pillows to sleep well.

I booked a room in the Morris Guest House based on the photos of the rooms and the number of positive reviews I read. The reality of the place made me wonder how many of the reviews I saw on various hotel booking sites are fake. I arrived very tired after a long day of travel and the first thing I saw was a large rat running down the front stairs. When I called the phone number provided in order to get the code to open the front door, the anonymous voice on the phone became irritated when I didn't enter the code correctly the first time. When I got into my room it looked nothing like the photos you see in the listings. It was very grim and shabby, and there were no covers on the bed, just a sheet. There was no staff on the premises - not a single person who might have been able to give me a blanket or answer any questions. In the listings it mentions "shared bathrooms" - and I was fine with that, until I discovered that the bathroom was just a toilet, making it impossible to take a shower during my stay there. I wasn't expecting anything fancy, but based on the photos, I was expecting a bright, cheerful place. What I experienced felt like a really creepy, shabby welfare hotel. The last straw was noticing that the peephole in the door of my room was stuffed with a wad of toilet paper that had a brown smear on it. I regret that I didn't take a photo of my room, but I did take a photo of the view out my window, which I'm providing. I made a HUGE mistake in booking the room for 6 nights. I was so disturbed by the place I immediately called and said I couldn't stay there and needed a refund. I was willing to pay for one night but needed a refund for the other 5 nights. The voice on the phone told me that was impossible - that it was nonrefundable. The whole experience was a very depressing waste of money.
