Our first hotel in downtown New York (the Village). It was horrible, there wasn't even a roof on your room, just a wall going up to 7ft and a door.

After the first horrible night in the hostel, we went online in the lobby of that crappy hotel, and booked another one. Still a room with a shared bath on the floor, but at least this one has a roof. It was just perfect for our needs.
