Hotel 99

The WiFi is horrible and there is no partition in the bathroom to keep the shower isolated, it makes the whole bathroom wet.

The WiFi is very slow.
one floor - just 3 bathroom.

I stayed at the hotel two different times ! And the staff was and is great. Anything I needed they made sure it was done. My room was cleaned every week and if I needed cleaned in between also. All I can stay I would stay there again

This place is messy, the kitchen is constantly littered with bags of trash and the bathrooms are always wet and smell like dog. It's not so much of a function of the cleaning maids (they do their jobs just fine) and the two guys (Andreas, Justin) at the front desk are always very helpful and nice, but the type of people that stay here.

A lot of them are foreign, but some look like vagrants/bums who stay here for indeterminate periods of time. The long-time residents also smoke a lot and make a ton of noise, shout a lot despite knowing that there are other people who live here, constantly playing loud obnoxious music in the kitchen and hallway, as if they own this place and never cleaning up after they use the common spaces. The place would be a lot nicer if it weren't for these inconsiderate, dirty folks.

Lastly, the nail on the coffin is that this place has BEDBUGS!!!! I had rashes on my neck and arms for the 3 weeks that I stayed here that mysteriously disappeared after my stay.

So stay away at all costs!!!

I have stayed at the hotel for a little over 1 month now, so I've had enough time to access the property. The property is in a great neighborhood on the UWS convenient to the 96th St subway stop and everything you will need within a 2-4 block radius. The building is well maintained with the exception of the lobby which definitely needs some sprucing up. The staff does a fairly decent job of tending to request for maintenance, but do expect to followup 2-3 times to have issues addressed. The cleaning staff is excellent and the hallways and bathrooms(shared) are cleaned twice a day.

If you need wifi, its not the best and I've has nothing but problems with the connection dropping since the day I arrived. The Mgmt has replaced the equipment and gateway, but the signal is still very weak as it relates to streaming video or conducting Webinars. Its stalls quite a bit and is very frustrating to say the least. For a better connection, the Starbucks directly across the street is great, however the Mmgt there is taken out the electrical outlets, so you cannot plug in. Make sure you have a full batter. The Mc'Donald's on Broadway between 96th and 95th is a good alternative to the Starbucks.

I've also had issues with several cable stations not having sound, I've spoken to Mgmt, the maintenance staff has looked into the issue, but no resolution todate.

All in all, I'm satisfied with Hotel 99, but because of the wifi and cable issues I'd give them a 3.5 out of 5 rating. If those issues did not exist, easily 4.5 out of 5. Great value for cost and the pictures you see online are very accurate.

I hope this helps
