I didnt end up sleeping here. I was wigged out by the fact the bathroom light was broken and the ac wouldn't turn on. There were broken chips off of the furniture as well as fruit flies in room. The room is located in the basement and the air conditioning unit is located overhead which feels dangerous. I feel that The Gatsby should lower the price due to these conditions especially if they put guests in the basement with little natural lighting. The staff was wonderful in trying to help me, but I have higher standards for my partner who I got this hotel for as it was their first night back in the city. I hope The Gatsby can improve. The staff was very kind and accommodating.

AC didnt work very well and ran the entire night to barely cool the room. Trash caddy in the entryway at night stunk the downstairs up. The location is good, close to anything you'd need

The property is located walking distance from a lot of stores, restaurants, and transportation. Staff was great, daily clean up were great. My only comment is that the cabinets(dresser?) in our room was broken, the curtains was just thrown in it(I’m guessing they fell off the window and left there), and there was no hot water(the one time I got it hot it took 15 minutes of running the water). So if you’re looking for an affordable simple clean stay this is it.

The location was great! Super close to everything. The staff was very helpful and friendly, the rooms were clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. However, we got one tv channel in another language and that was it. Not bad, BUT the shower was the dealbreaker for me. The teensiest, weakest trickle of water came out. I meant to take a photo, it was so bad. I've heard old men pee with more vigor than that sad shower. We ended up letting the water run into the tub, squatting, and washing medieval-peasant-by-the-river style. If not for this, I would gladly give 5 stars as the price, great staff, and location can't be beat. If bathing isn't high on your priorities, give the Gatsby a try!

The hotel was overbooked and we waited 45 minutes to check in. The gentleman at the front desk did not have access to properly manage bookings. He tried his best but management needs a better way of checking in guests. For 45 minutes we believed we would not have a room.

I've never stayed in a worse hotel. 2 months ago the Gatsby was actually a homeless shelter. I feels like it never changed... The safe wasn't working, the TV wasn't working and the room was pretty bareboned. Then I complained and they "upgraded" me to a bigger room. The shades had holes in them, the lampshades didn't match and the lightbulb was blown out - they didn't have a new one for me. The towel rack was held up with large amounts of white plaster - looks like someone put a random glob of white crap on the wall. ALSO.. I tried to take a shower and the drain in the bathtub was stuffed up... so I had to walk back to the original room to take a shower. The staff was nice. Never stay here.

This place is terrible. It reminds me if a seedy notell motel. Front door is locked after hours and you have to be buzzed in. After check in- I was given my card and was told that my room is level c. This was the cellar. And it was a dump. No remotes, bed looked dirty. Absolutely not. I went back up and asked for another room. Nothing available. I told them to cancel the reservation. The problem with most 3rd party vendors is that nothing is handled with any sense of urgency. I am waiting for a refund because I didn’t say.

The front desk asking for more money. After online and advanced payment. They make unnecessary arguments. Frustrating the guest. Facilities are not working at all. Very poor management
