Lincoln Tunnel Motel

Great place to stay. not the best look but good quality rooms

Absolute most disgusting place I've ever set foot in. My room had a greeter waiting in the door for me, a roach literally the size of my hand! Never ever ever stay! You're better off sleeping in your car.

BED BUGS IN EVERY ROOM. ROACHES WERE IN MY BATHROOM AND ANT INFESTATION EVERYWHERE. IT WAS BY THE FAR THE MOST DISGUSTING PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN AND I'M TELLING EVERYBODY TO SEE THIS FOR YOURSELF DONT GO THERE. IT IS THE DIRTIEST PLACE AND I DONT KNOW HOW THIS PLACE IS STILL UP AND RUNNING.

Ferfect

I believe that this place is torn down now, but believe it or not...I kinda miss it.

First off, this is probably the most disgusting motel I have ever set foot in, which made it perfect for a film shoot. Think of all the time I would save by not having to build a set, age the walls, and make it generally look seedy.

I made a deal with the staff a few weeks before that I'm going to shoot a film there. Of course when we arrive they see all of our gear and demand that we rent a 2nd room, which we did....it made life easier since our cast had a place to hang out while we set up. Luckily the room had free pornography on the TV incase anyone got bored of talking to the interesting people milling around.

We moved the bed in order to stage the scene better, of course we find discarded crack pipes underneath it.

One neighbor came by and offered to go pick up Burger King for us, and wanted to hang out for awhile since his friend was busy banging a hooker a few doors down. He told us for a hundred bucks the hooker would get naked for our movie.

The first night I had to sleep there with 100k worth of camera and lighting gear in the room. Of course the door to room #10 did not really lock, so I spent most of the night expecting to be robbed. I slept in my sleeping bag, and luckily did not get bed bugs somehow.

There is a resident that lives out back and fed a huge colony of feral cats that lived on the property.

The bathrooms are very scary, pooping was like a fan made episode of fear factor. Never mind showering, that was out of the question.

The clerks at the front are not the friendliest, and seemed a bit creepy. But perhaps it may have just been the porno he was watching at the desk that made the transaction seem off.

Luckily the police had a squad car that regularly swept the parking lot. Apparently years prior this motel was frequented by Richard "the Iceman" Kuklinski, who left a couple bodies behind. I was very surprised there were no murders during my stay. I was tempted to complain about this to the clerks.

All in all the Lincoln Tunnel motel was a fine place to spend a couple of long production days. I got to meet interesting people, see the sights, and feel really bad for the cleaning lady who probably has seen more sights than a Vietnam medic.
