One of the best travel websites going is Tripadvisor.com. Great reviews of hotels from people like you and me. They have just posted their list of DIRTIEST HOTELS. It is hilarious. Three out of the top ten are in the New York City area. Check out the review and see if you have had any experiences like this, or even stayed in any of these. But be prepared...some of these descriptions are not for the squeemish!
