When we checked in to the Broome NYC, we immediately noticed a dank, mildew smell in the room, and the carpeting felt wet to the touch. We then found the bedding, the towels, the robes, and everything else were wet to the touch. On our way out to a play, spoke to the front desk about our concerns and asked if we could be moved. We were told there was nowhere to move but if we could wait until the morning, we could move then.
When we returned, we tried to live with the situation, but sleeping in wet, cold bedding was impossible. Again, contacted the front desk. Alex at least apologized and tried to adjust the HVAC settings in the room. The woman at the desk earlier had said she would check the room while we were gone, but she had not and made no notes about the incident. Alex assured us that the manager, Natasha Ramjohn, would do everything she could to help in the morning.
Next morning spoke to Natasha. She offered us a smaller, darker, still dank room, but no apologies. We stated the situation was untenable and we'd be checking out. Still, no apologies, and no offer of refund (we had paid for the room in advance, unfortunately). She told us we'd only be refunded if they booked the room again (no one should have been offered that room).
At this point we were so miserable, we felt we had no choice but to leave, just so we could get some sleep. We moved to the Bowery Hotel which I would highly recommend for their comfort and customer service. Avoid the Broome NYC.
