Dirty! Poop on the toilet seat. Bugs in the bathroom sink. There are 15 floors with only 1 working elevator. The air conditioning did not work. The Bate’s motel has a D rated efficiency state certification on their window and we lost power twice. It was 94• the humidity was in the 70’s and there was a day of pouring rain. We COULD NOT be in that hotel! Certainly the worst hotel that I have ever stayed at in NYC and I’m there very frequently. The Ritz Carlton is directly across the street. I chose this hotel because of the location and the price. I would’ve saved more money at the Ritz and had a far better 3 day stay. Stranger Things on broadway was the most incredible show that I have seen in NYC. I would recommend seeing that and staying the hell away from The Gallivant unless you’re staying across the street. I hope this helps someone that reads the reviews.

Our experience at the hotel was mixed. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the staff were consistently pleasant and welcoming. Fortunately, our room was on the third floor, which allowed us to use the stairs—because only one elevator was working in this 12–14 story building. The working elevator was extremely small, roughly 5 by 3 feet, and could only fit about 2–4 people with luggage. This caused long wait times and frustration for many guests. The room itself was clean and the beds were comfortable. However, there were no extra amenities like a mini-fridge, which would’ve been nice given the 90–100 degree temperatures downtown. The bathroom was quite small, and the shower design was poor. A short glass panel only partially covered the shower, causing water to soak the floor. The bathroom fan was also very loud but didn’t do much to ventilate. The biggest issue was the air conditioning. Despite setting the thermostat to 65–68°F, the room remained around 78–80°F. At night, the temperature would rise to 88–92°F, waking us up sweating. We were told nothing could be done and were advised to simply turn the temperature back down. Overall, while the staff and cleanliness were appreciated, the lack of working infrastructure and basic comfort made for a disappointing stay.

Elevators did not work, nor did the window air conditioner. The floor in our room was uneven, and the bathroom was tiny. There was no place to sit toiletries, as the sink was a pedestal and there wasn't even a small shelf. The water sprayed out of the open shower all over the bathroom floor, so we had to put towels down to soak it up. The pipes moaned horribly when you tried to turn on the hot water, and on our final day there, the hot water was out on the entire floor. The only thing going for it is location -- super close to Times Square and the theatre district.

Needs new carpet and deep cleaned walls and all

The rooms were nothing like the pictures on the website the hallways have a bad odor and carpet and walls were dirty and stained. Due to our flight getting delayed we didn't check in until midnight so there was no other option I changed rooms from the original that smelled horrible and was filthy also has stains on the walls and sticky stuff on the night stand and ac. After changing rooms the second one smelled good and appeared clean but I still wiped everything down with disinfectant.

Awful hotel

We left a Yelp review. No one ever answers the front desk phone and you can't get in touch with anyone which is absurd. The one man at the front desk, Adam was rude and snarky when we checked our friend in . It was awful - all the way around - no amenities and none of the staff were friendly

I want to rate it for the location, 4 stars. The Family room space was nice, big bathroom with double sink (but a BIG spider web under, so thy don’t clean much), big shower but one day the hot water stoped (didn't mind, it was over 100 degrees that day) the beds were comfortable. Now…downside, we stayed here for 4 nights and only once they actually cleaned my floor, even I asked them to clean the room, they did changed my towels and made the bed, but the carpet and floor were dirty still. My room chair was broken(tilt to the front) couldn't used it at all (asked to be changed but never came), tables legs were wiggling. Elevator takes forever to get you. So I used the stair for a few time (7th floor). This is a no smoking hotel but you can smell the weed everywhere in the halls. Kids traveling with us was disgusted about this from New York, lots of people smoking with no control.
