  • dont stay at red roof inn either I threw an empty cigarette pack in the trash can and got a $100.00 fine on my credit card they said I was smoking in the room but was not manager unreasonable tried to call thier customer service was on hold more than 30 minutes listening to music never talked to anyone BEWARE they credit card scammers

  • Lol

  • Hulk smash?

  • omg, are you kidding me!...

    my family booked this hotel, were going to New York for Christmas :(

  • I stayed there last year. I kinda get what everyone says about it being scary and i would never stay there alone, i did like it though. I went with uni and all our rooms were ok, some where better than other but you get what you pay for

  • Haha I stayed there for 16 days. I don't see the bed problem, but everything else... ugh.

  • fuck sake booked this hotel already im doomed 

  • Yikes ..bottom line is when the place is that dark it means they don't want you to see the dirt or find the bedbugs. NY hotels are so risky right now, even the 4 & 5 stars have issues with bugs etc. Overall it's worth it to pay a little extra for peace of mind..try the Hilton near Times Square next time, very clean :)

  • Sooo Redundant.

  • WTF have I just watched?

  • OMG it's like....whatever....drama queen.

  • That's an awful experience but you're a little dramatic

  • also stayed there-never vagain-the maid stole our return tickets back to florida,security and staff were no help,didnt care i was stranded with 4 kids-smh---i had to pay 800 to get tickets to get us home-staff is rude-not helpful---def never stay there-its sceduled for demo anyway lol

  • I stayed at Hotel Penn it was horrible... never going back...

  • So anyone notice the Hulk just chilling in the background? Is that like, one of those character backpacks for kindergartners? Aw, this hotel sounds like it suxxx.

  • I highly recommend if you ever go back to New York that you stay at the Sheraton Hotel on Canal St. It's like right in the middle of SoHo, Chinatown, Little Italy and just a train ride away from Times Square. This hotel is really beautiful inside and out with NO dreary place in sight. Great views no matter what floor your on, really breathtaking. I think you'd really love it for your next stay. Dunkin Donuts is across the street, metro at the corner. Ps.The shops are amazing! Hope this helps =)

  • Holy. Crap. I watched nineteen percent's video and I am so grossed out that I am now going to take a shower. *shudders* I would rather sleep in a public restroom than that place!

  • whoes corn

  • Why didn't you get your money back and go to another hotel?

  • I am so sorry for you.

  • Quick tip to check for 2 way glass: If you put your finger against the mirror and there is no space>beware: it's 2 way. If there is a space, it's a regular mirror. I always check when I stay at hotels. :)

  • You just gave me the CHILLS. :/ They should be SHUT DOWN!

  • Is this for real or a joke video. What a freak, talk about going over the top, what a drama queen. In my own admission this is far from the best hotel I have ever stayed in but come on the location is excellent and so is the price. Imagine going away on holiday with her, now that would be my worst nightmare. LOL.

  • @jonnie100 Watch the video she linked from nineteen percent. Seriously it's really gross. I don't blame her for her reaction AT ALL! I don't know what kind of person could stay in that filth and NOT be grossed out.

  • @jonnie100 You wanna stay in a hotel room with bugs crawling around?

  • Ahhh.. This is not a good idea to watch this right before you go to sleep...

  • Wow im soooo sorry you had this bad experience.. Damn im from NY and ive never stayed at this hotel.. I don't even plan onto now. Since you told us it was bad.. Omg so sorry..

  • hahahaha! you're so sweet! I feel so bad that this happened to u, but this is such a great story, lol!

  • Your so cute, aww....any hotel in a Touristy area like THAT is going to be awful. Where are you from? Did you get on a train to an airport or to another train station? It's just funny because it is perfectly conveinent, you have Penn, Madison Sq. Garden, Sephora, Macys, and then THAT. LOL

  • hehe nice makeup

  • The #1 rule of traveling: find a hotel chain you like and STICK TO IT. This was my strategy when I traveled for my job. I tried to stay at a Marriott anything when I traveled - a bit more expensive, but worth it. My work reimbursed a certain amount, and I just paid the rest out of pocket - worth every penny for peace of mind. I had a Hotel Penn type of experience once or twice and decided NOPE, done with that.

  • it probably was a bedbug that bit you! My cousin stayed at that hotel and she said that her room had bedbugs so she requested a different room, and her new room had bedbugs too!! She said it was the most awful experience of her life.

  • lmao it wasnt even fabolous, it was just livable

  • That's the Dolphin Hotel in 1408. Spooky!

  • Haha...good to know

  • So sorry to hear about your dreadful experience :( That's one of my worse fears when it comes to traveling...scary and dirty hotels *shudder* I stayed at Hotel Newton twice and I like it. It's clean and very affordable (I booked early and got it for ~$100/night), located in upper west side and right next to the subway.

  • TORONTO!! :D

  • I've stayed in that hotel before: filthy, yuk and our window was broken (good thing we went there in DECEMBER!!). When my mum went to NYC this year, I told her to not book this hotel - so she didn't, but the travel agency cancelled her original booking while she was already abroad and booked her in hotel Penn instead. When she got there, she was close to a nervous breakdown but got through the weekend (key: staying inside as little as possible) and she even got her money back afterwards...

  • Did you know you can put a review on Trip Advisor about them. It will let everyone know the truth about that Hotel. They KNOW people take that website seriously. It might change things :D

  • Dark, dreary, awful... lol, you sorta said the same stuff the entire time. It sounds terrible, though, so aw, that stinks. :(

  • @SandyattheBeach1 hahaha well I wanted to say some bad words but you know.. I can't on here :D

  • you sound just like me !! I am very catious of all of that. Bugs, noises, just looking at a wall my mind can imagine a creepy image i can think of anything, espically if im egged on by a creepy room in a hotel geez i would go crazy im glad your ok now an out of that miserable place

  • Aw sorry Elessa! Thanks for letting us know! I never would have gotten to sleep there lol I have an imagination that runs wild and I hate haunted-house like places

  • 1408 was made their yikes!

  • @Jackydsgurl right?

  • Awww! I'm so sorry. I wish I would have known. nineteen percent did a video on that hotel a while back. Your story made me want to cry. Hers had me dying of laughter but you both covered the same issues: I will NEVER STAY there lololol!

  • @YuPiMSPECL yeah i love her.. so funny

    

  • hotel penn is really really shitty! some rooms are nice, but some are dreadful, my cousins stayed in a room there and the room was GIGANTIC and dark and empty. not worth the money at all!

    and NO the standard for a new york Hotel. i've even stayed in "shitty" hotels here and they were NICER than that craphole. i'm a native new yorker and YES this review is 100% accurate to that dreadful place

  • @loanaea Yes ugh.. that place sux so much. <3

  • I love you soo mch.. but yourr eyeliner is alittle too much in this video. it closes up your eyes toomuch

  • Oh poor thing. You let your head get the better of you I think! X

  • thanks for the heads up! lol

  • a thirteenth floor?!? no wonder its bad...

  • You're too cute. Even when you're grumpy :P

  • after watching that link i soooo believe u

  • i live in ny but this is nice to know... all the hotels in the tristate area im afraid to stay in because the whole bedbug infestation

  • So did some research on this place. Seems its been up for.demo more than once. It also has had four deaths at this place. Read.some reviews and the only thing nice.said about it is that its conveniently located. Thanx.for the.advice.

  • WAS IT THE DOLPHIN HOTEL???

  • When I was in NYC, I stayed at the Comfort Inn Chelsea. It was wonderfullllll (:

  • holy **** thats beyond a nightmare, im so sorry u had to deal with that. i had a similar hotel experience in texas, it was distgusting and had flying roches and it was not cheap!!! =( i stayed 2 hours crying in a corner before i decided to sleep in my car

  • @mariaq81 LMAO xDD awwws im so sorry! I had a similar experience i couldnt even sleep! and the bed felt like they like just stuffed newspaper. its crazy bad. and yes flying roaches were present in panama city florida >o<

  • lol poor thing, sounds like you were convincing your self that your room was a room someone was murdered in once or something

  • omg i started to get shivers hearing your description of the place! you poor thing :( i hate bad hotels!!

  • sorry is Koren Enkore Makeup?

  • is Koren "Enkoremakeup"?

  • @dancediva91698 yup!

    

  • "maybe this is new york???" wow

  • Awe you poor girl! It sounds like it could be the plot for a Hitchcock movie!

  • this reminds me of my experience in NYC too!! everything else cool except the city is dirty and my hotel was the worst one ever...

  • i watched that video link to the girl who taped her room. that place is disgusting!

  • Like OMG me and my family stayed there when we were on holiday 10 years ago, I was only little and even I remember how awful it was. First we had to move rooms because our first room was literally flooded, wet carpets, wet beds and it stank. So we had to change rooms which took forever.. Anyway my two sisters shared a room, down the hall from our second room, and they came over in panic because one of my sisters was just about to use the shower when the ceiling fell in. Luckily she wasn't hurt

  • Try Luxe VR rentals next time! If you go to NY or FL

  • thanks for the video...very helpful!

  • Don't sweat the dislikes. I used to work at a hotel like that. It was haunted and needed to be updated. You paid way too much for a tiny room that wasn't what was expected. Only thing was, I worked night shift and it's the worst ever working in a crap haunted hotel like that.

  • thnx for the vid!!!

  • awww omg! when you said you hadnt slept on Sunday I didn't know it was because of all this trauma! thanks for the review hun!

  • sounds scary

  • thanks for the warning! this sounds scary.

  • Holy crap the site barks at you.

  • Thanks for the Warning! ~_^ we plan on visiting New York either this Christmas or early January of next yr.

  • he should have been a gentleman and swapped rooms lol I like haunted places so cool if it was haunted

  • OMG! I stayed there when I went to NY like 2 years ago, I swear to god there was a ghost in our room (we had a 3 room suite) I was in the washroom and mu cousin was on the bed watching tv... then all of a sudden the washroom door opens... I was like "WTF.." so I ask to see if it was her...she said it wasn't cause I didn't really hear any movement during the process of the door opening.... and yea the place does look kinda creepy....ALSO we were in the elevator and one of the doors didn't open

  • ( cause there's usually 2 doors, one outside and one for the elevator) so we had to go a floor down then go to another elevator.....that scared the crap out of me....XP I got bit millions of times too! I opted to sleeping ontop of the sheets instead of under them XP

  • Creepy sounds like fun! You should never stay at the Queen Mary Hotel in Long Beach dear! lol!

  • Girlll!! omfggg when i went there we looked and lookedd for weeks to find a gooddd hotel that isnt sketchy, small, scary and etc. Next time your there, definitely check out the best western president hotel it was amazingg!!! Perfect room size, and sooo comfortable to be in, its like being at home. PLUS FREE INTERNETT! :D

  • I'm sorry this happened....Your still coming to Vancouver right?

  • I saw that video you linked and I WOULD CRY TOO ): it looks so scary.

  • too much make up..........

  • You're so cute! I love you! LOL thanks for the review i'm going to NYC soon :) I'll definitely keep this in mind!

  • You should do more vids of places to "WATCH OUT FOR". Why pay money for a place where you feel uncomfortable and unsafe? Traveling to unfamiliar places is dangerous, especially if you (alone) end up being in the wrong place and the wrong time? I'm glad that you're home safe and I'll keep your experience in mind when traveling. About the ghosts, I can empathize with you on that! Those who don't believe in the paranormal world probably won't!

  • @av8264 I film every hotel I am at. but when I get home I forget about it and move on LOL i wanted to do a whole series on hotels LOL

  • @av8264 I agree

  • If I were there, I would of complaining to their manager and demand a better room, or my money back and go to another hotel. Also, report that Hotel to their Corporate office and bring their sanitation issues to there attention. Seriously, No one should ever have to endure a place that is a wolf in sheep's clothing like that.

  • Next time you should stay at the Roosevelt Hotel. Its super close to Grand Central Station and midtown, but its really nice.

  • Creeepy !!!!!!!!!!!

  • LOL at them telling you they broke the lock because someone didn't wanna leave. AS IF they don't have their own key to every room -_-

  • Thanks for this informative video. Actually I Passed this on to the people I think do most of the traveling in The US. The over 50 crowd at AARP. This should make some people think twice about staying in That Hotel.

  • what movies were fillmed there??????????? plzz answer

  • i have stayed there too! its the most grotesque space EVER!!!!!!! uuggg ssoooo nasty!!

  • @memeinmakeupland yes thats the perfect word to describe it!!

  • OMG I stayed there as well and agree with all you said, I felt so awful there and its not safe everyone don't stay there!

  • Are u and koren dating? Im so confused.. Please reply!!

  • @pigheather haha why would you think what? We went to New York for O2B2 classes :) We are business partners

  • @pursebuzz haha my bad! I haven't been on youtube in like half a year

  • @pigheather haha welcome back!

  • @pigheather isnt koren gay?

  • @hmsfhs no ideaaa

  • She said that it's dark and dreary like 500 times I guess she just really wanted to get her point across

  • I looked it up online and it does look super creepy D:

  • How horrible! I will never stay at that Hotel!

  • Sounds horrible!

  • your makeup is hideous in this video. what happened?

  • @ekimxo I don't agree! I think her eyeliner might be a bit too dark but I think that the eyeshadow is fun and bright.... neon and fun!

  • @ekimxo You are rude. The lighting/quality isn't perfect, but then again it doesn't need to be because it's a vlog, so keep you're rude ass comment to yourself.

  • @jsharmag10 Hah! You tell em. My makeup looks like crap after a even a normal day. Can't be perfect ALL of the time!

  • @MissWorldx81 Thank You!! She's taking her time to tell us about her experience, and is one of the most down to earth people on youtube...she doesn't deserve that kind of disrespect ya know?!

  • watched the video by nineteenpercent. its so grosssss ewww. you should have asked for refund its tooooooo gross :(

  • The union in union square is supposed to be really good.

  • OMG!! I stayed there too. and omg there were 8 doors in our room. and we asked to room change, and the next room we got was even worse. omg sooo creeeepy NEVER AGAIN!!!!

  • @totalllytea 8 doors? what to you mean? Like entering into your room???

  • @pursebuzz yes, like 3 doors looked like they were connecting to the room next to ours. and all of them were locked. expect one door which opened up into like a mini room (low ceiling and one light) it looks like a storage. and that little room had 3 doors. we got to scared after that so we just went back to the lobby. (which by the way loooked sooooo nice, such a scam)

  • @totalllytea OMG no way.. thats awful. That place is !!!!

  • omg thank you so much for posting this! me and my boyfriend almost just booked this hotel today!!! ive never been to NY before, im from southern california..so i dont know whats a good affordable hotel to stay at in NY ....

  • @HELLObear86 when in doubt - marriott !

  • Was just in NYC last week we come out of Penn Station and my friend goes that hotel is horrible, she was referring to that hotel!!! Holy crap. Gross! We stayed at the algonguin super nice.

  • i live in new york. trust me, don't let this one hotel mar your idea of new york hotels!!

  • ELESSA! I just googled that hotel and the rooms there were used to film the movie 1408! I don't know if you've seen that movie but it is very scary and I can't imagine staying in that hotel! Especially after seeing that movie!!

  • ...srry that ur hotel was crap

  • maybe it's supposed to be scary?

    No? lol

  • I would have never paid for that :) LOL

    i hate hotels like that

    ...the one i staid a couple of days ago

    was actually pretty nice

    except we were on the 10th floor

    and it took about an hour for the elevator!

    and when you were inside it it kept making noises and it was nasty

    and the stairs were scarey cuz if you screamed NO ONE could ever hear you.

    rape alert!LOL

  • ahhh it sounds like a nightmare! you should have just checked out and gone to a holiday inn/hampton inn if you were trying to save money

  • ugh i stayed at a motel in Atlanta...it was horrible! The rooms smelled like cigarettes, the beds had bed stains, and bugs. I pulled like 2 allnighters cuz i did not want to sleep on that bed!

  • hi you look beauty

  • I pity you :( but glad you're safe now and able to catch up on some sleep :)

  • ahhh boomer, thats why you should always check out the reviews before booking :I

  • you NEED to stay at the Park Central next time you go! it's absolutely fabulous, moderately priced, and close to times square!!

  • oh my goshhhhh! *shudder* :X

  • omg! they have BED BUGS!! and they are beyond horrible! This hotel looks like something out of Stephen Kings movie "The Shinning". I am a hospitality professional and I would of raised hell!

  • Watching this reminded me of the movie "the shining" RED RUM!!!! haha i love that movie!

  • OMG that hotel is DISGUSTING!!!

  • miracle micheal myers didnt pop out at you lol

  • LOL you told me about this the morning of the 2nd day. You said it was "questionable" lol. btw it's Melanie the girl with the gold glittery shoes :)

  • @rknv05 Hey you!!!!! LOL awful awful!! I subbie to you now :) xxx

  • You look scary in that make up.. Sorry I dont think you can pull it off

  • @MsKatienicole123 Excuse you!? this is a vlog not a make-up tutorial! besides what the hell does a 13 yr old know about make-up! when talking to an adult talk to them with respect or stick with other 13 yr old subscribers if you can't act appropriately!

  • @Queenterrier i think your the one who should act like an appropriate adult that your claimingto be. all she said was that in her opnion the makeup didn't look good and i agree the makeup doen't look right , in that kind of lighting . there was no reason for you to go down on her and start swearing , and how can you expect her to show respect when your behaving like a crezy 8 year old

  • @fccty1 learn to spell if your going to troll it's "Opinion" "Don't" & "Crazy" and it isn't an opinion when someone say's "you look Scary in that make-up" that is just flat out rudeness!

  • @Queenterrier oh no i am so sorry my bad spelling is way worse than the way your acting, well at least english is my forth language, whats your reason?

  • @fccty1 hmm 4 languages huh....yet you couldn't tell the difference between rudeness & an opinion...in fact wait till people start leaving you comment's like what she left on your video's! and then let's see how well you handle those "opinions" ....oh wait you don't have any video's...so you have no idea how hard it is to do a video, edit it and add any extra stuff to it (if you desire effects of any kind) yeah! sit down eat your bowl of stupid and drink your glass of shut the f@ck up!

  • lol this video is entertaining! you're hilarious and i feel your pain, hotels are supposed to be convenient and comfortable. i was thinking about staying in a hotel near penn station but now i'm wayy too scared!

  • Yuck!! I was recently in NYC and stayed at the Rennaisance hotel right in Times Square, and RIGHT near Inglot

  • Oh sheets and comforter were soooo filthy and had stains everywhere.. Crased for 1 hour on the ac vent with my head on my book bag...no sleep...SUXXX...

  • HOTEL PENN IS SUPER Sh*tty!!! I agree 100 PERCENT.. SO glad you did a review I too stayed after checking out the photo gallery..I should have been checking out the reviews..We only stayed overnight, But NEVER AGAIN.Beautiful foyer once you are off the elevator it's like a freakin time warp.. HUGE Hole in the ceiling as i walked to my room RUST consumed the bathroom! need a tetnus shot 2 shower eeewwhh also the lock on door was just hangin! we seriously did not need a key, it just pushed open.

  • Can't believe people are complaining about this video -_- I'm thankful she made this video

  • Wow! Glad ur safe Hun!! Ps love ur makeup!! An ur hair is soo long!

  • i know you're not, but you sound like such a diva in this video

  • I saw that you're on answering comment, so I just wanna say hi. Hi Elessa!!!! :D

  • @yennyliciouzz Hiii love!!!!

  • @emmaleecd0917 everything was sold out. Even that hotel was sold out! :(

  • go to tripadvisor's website- the reviews are horrible!

  • gross! I work at a hotel and this place is a disaster, how do they stay in business?!

  • @rissa204 I dunno :( I heard its going down soon

  • gross!

  • I can understand giving the hotel a bad review on something like tripadvisor or a booking website but posting a video is very dramatic. I've had much worse experiences than this. I can't imagine how you'd react staying at a motel 6. People don't stay at this "100" year old hotel because the rooms are all fancy, they stay there because of its location.

  • @yummmmyjello The motels I have stayed in are clean and lit. I am just putting it out there for those who want to know about the Hotel Penn in NY.

  • wow thats totally a lie about how the hotel broke open the door because a guest wouldnt leave!! because obviously if it was a hotel worker who opened it they wouldve had a key card to get in not having to bust open a door lock!! CREEPY!!!

  • @honechan10 I just don't think people realize that there is always a way for management or front desk to get into a room in case of emergencies. People assume they "broke open the door" but that's not true.

  • seriously... all this complaining about a place just because it looks scary and has no internet connection? geeez, you should travel to places like India, Albania or Czech Republic even to see how hotels look there,,,

  • @idig thats different and comparing apples to oranges. This place shows photos of their hotel room and doesn't actually give you that room. If I am paying $150 for a room a night and see the photos of what to expect .. then it should be what they show me. If I pay for internet in that room I expect it. know what I mean?
