I knew Bronx wasn't the greatest of neighborhoods before booking, but this exceeded my expectations in the worst way. I knew I had made a terrible mistake when I stepped off the subway. Trash, homeless people, junkies everywhere. I was shocked to see the front desk of the hotel behind bullet proof glass. I slept terribly. My room was yards away from an interstate and it was like the cars and trucks were driving through the room all night. The pillows were flat and lumpy. The vending machines were broken. There was no way I was going out to get snacks in that neighborhood.
