Did you think either hotel was worth the $$$, let me know?!

[@TKM12]

I'm not sure

[@jordanwhyte9481]

I wouldn't want to stay in the first, second was nice but not really worth it

[@tomharvey2412]

Can’t believe you didn’t black light the nice hotel lol

[@1mastere]

Hey Ben just wanted to say that I really love your videos and you motivate me to be a better person and be rich and experience all of these things myself. Exceptional losing airports in some random forest😂

i find it actually outrageous that the toilet paper was just some cheap stuff. Additionally, for that sort of price you’d expect them to allow you to take the fancy stuff home

[@isabellabonnie]

Loved the concept of this video! But as a New Yorker who has stayed in many Manhattan hotels, you definitely could have stayed in a better hotel for that price, like The Baccarat, Equinox (which both have indoor pools) or even the iconic Plaza Hotel!

[@erique_k]

Or like the Carlyle and Aman.

[@circlesevendivination4928]

So brave that you actually slept in the bed at Bowery grand hotel, I was looking for cheap stays in New York for a couple nights and was appalled by the reviews, I was so shook that there were so many things wrong there ! Excellent video, though I do think the most expensive hotel obviously seems overpriced, no doubt you could get everything you are looking for at a better price.

[@chaosplanet]

Another fantastic video, Ben. Love all your content, you're my favourite content creator!

[@ThunderRoad1]

I'm not sure I would want to spend my money in either of those rooms. Both were overprice . However that night view on the second room was fantastic. However just step out the hotel and look up I'm sure you would get the same view but for free. Love the the video. Would like to see the same worst and best but with Air B'n'B.

Hey Ben, Loving the video so far. The quality is awesome. I also just wanted to give you a video idea, can you do a living like *insert celebrity name here* video, some suggestions would be The Rock, Ali Abdaal (King of productivity), yourself? And honestly any other celebrities you can think of. If you could that then it would great, but I understand if you have bigger ideas, maybe on a rainy day you could film these. Thank you for the amazing quality content and have a great day.

[@benmorris]

I've been thinking of doing something productivity related for a long time now, not 100% what on yet but expect something like that soon! Thanks for the suggestion, really appreciate it 🫶🏼

I stayed in an AirBnB on Staten Island, about 10 mins away from the ferry for $30 a night, clean and comfortable, with a free ferry to Manhattan 24-7.

[@COMEINTOMYWORLD]

Well done for embracing the theme. I would of booked the expensive suite but brought snacks, food, and toiletries from the local supermarket.

How have I only found this Ben morris guy channel now, Binge🎉

[@swurvydel]

Best value for money boutique hotel in New York is the Arlo Midtown. Very reasonably priced for NYC, very modern and clean and centrally located. Stayed there last year for St=. Paddy's Day and it was well worth every penny.

[@aarijkhan8093]

He's back!

[@benmorris]

you know it 😎

[@jolindawatson592]

When I saw what the second hotel was called I was excited as I stayed there when it was called “The Hotel St. Moritz”. Was great value back when I stayed in the 90’s.. stayed in a junior suit overlooking Central Park which looked very similar to the room you stayed in.

[@DT_060]

You should do a video in Bali like this 🔥

[@DecemberNames]

Thank you for another great video

[@maga6252]

So, how much did they charge you for that umm can of soda?! If it was more than $10.00 I'm going to scream! 😂🤣😅😎

[@avastanley111]

YOU PUT AN UMBRELLA UP INSIDE!!!!!!!! 😳😳😳😳😳

[@RubmaLione]

Try this again, but stay at the Aman, the Plaza, the Baccarat, the Mark, or the Carlyle. The Ritz locations in NYC are more popular with business travelers and tend to not really have much of a personality.

[@majda5845]

the view omg 😍😩

[@_Miner]

No way was that a room, thats a closet in the corridoor they have converted into a "room".

[@rexwallis7369]

[@jj-if6it]

There is a toilet roll, but someone's chucked it in the bin! How helpful

[@Saavik256]

Bowery used to be a really rough part of NYC back in the 1960s, kind of explains a lot.

[@DerekPK]

So they put Pringles and snacks in the luxury hotel but you still need to pay if you eat it? So you need to pay for it, it wasn’t included in the hotel price?

[@julietvrphotography]

Was so shocked!

[@MKRN98]

My bet is that the first place is "rent-by-hour" kind of place to do you know what there. They probably offer a "service" behind the scenes too.

[@kamehameha30]

Omg I don't understand how you were willing to stay in that first hotel after seeing bedbugs in the review.

[@normacoope8239]

Hi a friend of mine came to London last month booked an Airbnb. Arrived, the place was filthy, not cleaned from previous guests. How do people leave a place in such a mess. Needless to say he left snd found a lovely little hotel. All very well booking ahead but no idea what you are in for.

[@Nicole-cb8bm]

Why do I feel like there are other hotels in nyc that would give you more amenities included for less than the ritz Carlton? I feel like RC is mostly the name you’re spending money for!

The thing is, most hotel rooms probably look like that under black light, we just never see it. I'm impressed the sheets were clean! lol

Imagine taking the bed bugs with you in your backpack, on your clothes because this is how it happens frequently:/ And then you take them with you to a nice hotel. :D I experienced that 2,5years battle including chemicals and restoration if whole flat. Do not recommend. So every time I see this kind of video I only think about that. In every hostel I check every corner, beds, mattresses from above and beyond.

The Ritz Carlton is so overpriced, especially as the treatments etc weren't included and the room was basic. You can get better value hotels in NYC. They're paying for the name, and Ritz Carlton are paying for the location.
