I have stayed here many times. All the way back in the mid 90's. The staff is always super cool! Including letting me drop off my luggage early in the morning, way before my check in time and hold on to my suitcase after check out, let me explore the city, which allowed me pick up my stuff before leaving the city, late at night, free of charge!

[@pamlockie5239]

We have stayed her for the last 22years .it is simply the best experience. The art work never ceases to make you feel part of a great hotel community. Staff are great We love it Simply the best 🤗👌

[@ActionKid]

This hotel is super cool! It certainly has a retro look to it but I can see why some people would think it's creepy.

[@HereBeBarr]

hahah yeah i think it's either you LOVE it or HATE it type of deal.

[@tomjefferies4318]

When I’ve traveled to NYC the last few times I’ve been staying in Air b&b’s in Jersey City just because it was definitely less expensive but the commute time was painful. This place definitely checks all the boxes for me. All I need is a clean place to stay, in Manhattan and inexpensive but also you get this amazing experience. Definitely considering staying here on my next visit. Thanks for the video on the Carlton Arms.

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks for the early Patreon comment!

[@JamesandKarla]

It was so much fun showing you the rooms we had decorated in years past at the Carlton Arms and we are so glad you were able to highlight this amazing hotel on your channel as it certainly is a unique place to stay and the people who run it are so nice. Extra Extra good!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks sooo much and I can’t wait to see your video!

[@jorgenhansson488]

Me and my wife stayed at the Carlton Arms in 1989. We had a room just across the reception, it was the “bar” room. Complete with a bar with bottles, beer signsand glasses. There were wineglasses glued to the ceiling, the bathroom door had a mannequin through it, half/half. So we woke every morning looking at a mannequin ass🤪. A very special place.

[@dorothee2314]

I did stay there 4 years ago, cool place and great staff. You should bring some earplugs, though, as this part of the city really never sleeps. Still, I had a great time visiting.

[@urvashisy9295]

I stayed there in 2009 - looks like it hasn't changed much - it was a very cool experience, since there's no more Chelsea Hotel. At least it's original, if not the cleanest place on earth

[@Jaycation]

“I would totally shoot a music video in this room” haha man this place is going to be booked for years. A banksy room? Man def gonna be busy!

[@HereBeBarr]

My man with the Patreon early comment! Thanks.

[@frednich9603]

I'd stay in one of the rooms with a private bath for sure! thanks for the tip!

[@HereBeBarr]

Any time!

[@chrisbrown2246]

I would stay there in a heart beat. Just for the experience.

[@HereBeBarr]

Would you stay at the Carlton Arms, why or why not?

[@naomiferreira8255]

Yes, if I can get one of the rooms I really like. No, because of the stairs.

[@myrnabergen5342]

New subscriber Jon, from James& Karla. Looking forward to more reviews. High end to economy with meaning like this beauty. I would totally book this place my next trip to NYC

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks for coming over from their channel. They’re amazing

[@mikeb2644]

We are staying at The Carton Arms, right this moment-- in The Submarine Room! A couple of notes-- First, many of the reviews are inaccurate. The rooms, and the rest of the hotel, are perfectly clean. They're just old. The fixtures are old, and they look it. But they do a nice job of keeping everything neat and tidy. One person said you have to wear sandals in the showers. That's ridiculous. And there's no concern that people are going to break into your room because the lock doesn't work. We've met a bunch of the people here, and it's actually a markedly quiet, modest group of people. We expected a lot of dope smoking and partying. Absolutely none of that. Instead, a lot of taking advantage of the free coffee that's available 24 hrs. The neighborhood is kind of noisy, so if you stay here on a weekend night, you'll get noise from bars on the street. But not from your neighbors in the hotel. The staff is super-friendly. When you get here you get a handful of keys so you can walk around and choose which room you want. And about the art. There's no shortage of creepy art. Some of the rooms aren't for the faint-of-heart. But here's the thing about the art-- it's good. For real. It's interesting, funny, and even exciting to look at. We think it's all great.

[@davet1081AA]

Way too dark and creepy for me. Like a flop house, everything ancient & coated in a hundred layers of paint. An addict's nightmare, I don't have to live like that anymore.

[@HereBeBarr]

😯 it’s definitely not for everyone

[@Meow_Vibes888]

This is cool, I would book just to take photos. I just wouldn’t be comfortable sleeping there for whatever reason 😨

[@domn415]

What a TOTALLY AWESOME hotel!!!!! I would most definitely stay there!!! LOVE IT !

[@hithere9495]

I stayed here multiple times. I love it. Specially for the price

[@nareyangkim]

Awesome!!!✨✨✨that shower literally blew my mind away!!

[@jacquesalarie5624]

Absolutely. Not because of my poor vision other wise pretty cool place

[@shareced7651]

I like your idea on shooting a music video there, totally agree! Taking pics, touring the place, yes. But no, sorry I would not stay there. Can’t wait to see your next hotel tour, good luck!

[@johnwalter1978]

wow,I like the Egyptian pharaohs art amazing art gallery,great job sir

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks, it's a funky place

[@remyy1999]

I’m doing my very first solo trip to New York next year and booked this because of its price! Can’t believe banksy painted one of the rooms wow!

[@gnasher_86]

Staying there next December for 5 nights. Can’t wait!

[@albertoalbertoni9529]

Original and interesting this place.... thanks !!!

[@robatsea2009]

Highly original! I can understand why it wouldn't be for all tastes but I'd stay there in a heartbeat. Having stayed in shared bathroom lodging numerous times before it's not an issue to me but when you're spending your own money it's an individual decision as to what your comfort requirements are.

[@HereBeBarr]

Very original

[@betsybrennan7101]

That’s what I love about NYC! I’ll look for it next time I come to the big Apple.

[@nancylouise180]

Wow! This is so cool! Love the art and history of the place. But I'd need my own bathroom lol. Would love to sit and listen to stories from the manager of the different people who stayed at the hotel, must have been lots of interesting and fun folks. Way cool to know James & Karla designed one of the rooms. I agree, they rock! I'm a big Hudson fan, he's too adorable! Jon it would be great to see Adriana's reaction too of the hotel bcz she's also an awesome artist. Maybe you guys can visit again together and share her thoughts on the different art pieces, paintings, and rooms? Thank you for sharing this unique and amazing place with us. Definitely will be on my list of places to visit the next time I'm in NYC.

[@HereBeBarr]

Adriana is coming for the next hotel video! It’s 100% her thing.

[@Chieftracyhorse]

It’s Fantastic! Thank you for showing this . ♥️❤️♥️

[@roxtar38]

What a gem. So cool.

[@jencrecelius3565]

Omg, love it! Definitely considering checking this out the next time I'm in the city :)

[@kevinmeehan4549]

Yea that’s a special New York kind of place . I would love to stay there. Thanks for the heads up .

[@letsrolloutnyc]

Wore the rooms are so cool.

[@ralphripoff1]

Fascinating!

[@tay7756]

Congrats John, almost 200 k its all down hill from here man

[@CelestialDung]

I've been craving New York City anyway, this just ..........woah. Wanna go now.

[@MatthewHildebrand-kn2dj]

really cool looking place, but definitely would be creeped af waking up in the middle of the night, and seeing pharaoh heads everywhere lol

[@chiarapp]

i’ve done it and it was kinda fun!!

[@kevinleal1443]

I saw you on the N train the other day. Was a bit starstruck. Couldn't muster the gall to say hi haha.

[@honorrolls5415]

Omg that was as we said it the 60s a trip. Love this idea if showing hotels but don’t abandon the food. Love your content and having grown up in New York I have gotten great visiting ideas you are now the unofficial ambassador of New York City Bill from Fort Wayne Indiana

[@HereBeBarr]

Thank you! Will do!

[@TripHacksDC]

This is an awesome video idea, Jon! How did you pick the hotels to feature? As for the Carltons Arms maybe when I was younger but I feel too old for this kind of place now. 😂

[@HereBeBarr]

I want hotels that really stand out. This one was top of the list

[@phantastik3389]

I miss all that NYC cool shit!

[@edvaira6891]

I think I would subconsciously be quite uncomfortable in this hotel ...I’m sure it’s perfectly hygienic, but all the visual detail would just make me very overstimulated and I just couldn’t relax...

[@HereBeBarr]

😂

[@folkheartandsoul4490]

Stayed here with my daughter c. 2006...memorable to say the least*

[@JasonRuppVlog]

Super cool spot to sleep.

[@teresahoward7821]

That place is AMAZING! I would totally stay there, shared bathrooms or not. I've stayed in many hotels and hostels in Europe and the US, sharing a bathroom is NBD. Thank you for featuring this cool property!

[@HereBeBarr]

Glad you liked it Teresea!

[@ecneb]

I would definitely stay at this hotel.

[@jasonnavarro55]

Stayed there yesterday pretty rad

[@tianyuli8335]

I have studied at Baruch and I never knew this place until now.

[@margaretlinsey]

I couldn't stay I'd get totally freaked in the middle of the night 🙃

[@HereBeBarr]

hahaha

[@jimykimm]

Love this new style

[@watsonxox7145]

I absolutely LOVE this hotel!

[@DsB779]

Will stay there in September for one night in between other accomodation. There will be stories to tell afterwards for sure. This is the real New York

[@stavrosfrompatra]

How was the trip ?

[@dp1994]

Looks really cool but can I get your opinion on hotels like hotel Edison and the Marriott residence inn??

[@ForgingMyLife]

I'd definitely stay there. Love to see every room..

[@pmiller9997]

Interesting!! I will say I would stay there a night possibly but spoiled on own bathroom I guess🤔love it tho! How quirky like me🙃

[@gennosukekoga01]

Thank you. it looks really cool but it is definitely way over my budget.

[@gordontanner4407]

If you want interesting and affordable try the Leo House on W 23rd Between 8th and ninth Ave. I used to live there. Used in several movies. Mother Thersea stayed there and it's owned by nuns.

[@kimsinspiredlife]

Looking forward to the hotel series. Interesting hotel...but shared bathroom?😬

[@jeanniemarkech351]

VERY cool!

[@jeanniemarkech351]

Must say, though...would have to have my own bathroom. In some ways, I am soooo much an American.

[@chandlerbingbong]

Yikes! A shared bathroom!!!!! 😮 ... I don't even share at home. 😁

[@savannahbluebell9840]

100% booked it for march

[@martincanart7418]

I have been once to NYC and I went to this hotel with my family, but we had to change room since our initial room had too scary paintings for my sister. it's the room at 1:21

[@stevensullivan1609]

I'm staying there the second week of August already booked

[@Golfadventureswithchris]

I'm surprised this place isn't more popular

[@HereBeBarr]

You'd think it would be..

[@bonniepwtf]

This was very interesting.

[@jahanas22]

That looks cool. I’d stay there.

[@rolfjacobson833]

way cool, thanks

[@contessalouannec8064]

Thank You for sharing. The hotel is very interesting and it has a lot of history. Love Karla, James and Hudson's Channel.

[@HereBeBarr]

They rock

[@markuspietila1728]

Cool!

[@georgeromao9021]

yes

[@MrJoeybabe25]

COOL!

[@chanelmone4721]

You mentioned your might pick a certain room based on the art work. Are you able to choose a room based on the look?

[@HereBeBarr]

Yes they let you choose whatever's open.

[@jessicawalton4690]

I am European and can confirm we are not all OK with shared bathrooms 😂

[@HereBeBarr]

🤣🤣

[@ssadvweld1]

At my age I like an elevator and quieter digs but it is a very cool place.

[@nicolefrances.c]

This is so freaking cool

[@mariar3715]

I could stay there, im not sure some of family would. It looks like a fun experience!

[@HereBeBarr]

It's for the open minded hahaha

[@darlagts]

Even though I appreciate the art, funkiness and uniqueness of this hotel, I wouldn't stay there...I do find it a bit creepy and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to sleep.

[@hithere9495]

I slept

[@chanelmone4721]

Looks like a nice place to make a music video.

[@nearcentralsteady410]

I usually visit New York in the summer, does it have AC?

[@HereBeBarr]

Yes they install it in summer

[@AfrazExplores]

This is a nice artistic hotel

[@adambuesser6264]

How can I book a room here?

[@HereBeBarr]

I put a link in the description

[@DiscoverWithDima]

Would definitely stay in the banksy room

[@mortalsting]

Somehow i don't think there would be a lot of clean sheets in this place. But cool stuff to see.

[@texashsad]

As sloppy as I am at home, all that paint scares me. I like to see white paint on walls, it makes the place look cleaner. But overall, it's a unique place indeed. :)

[@melissalovesmakeup4374]

Omg I’m going with my kids thanks

[@Vince2panam94]

I stayed in this hotel in 1993, for two weeks... long time ago. It was my first trip to NYC, when I had 18 years old. When I reached the hotel, they gave me 3 room keys, and ask me to choose the one I want. It was definitly one of the Cheapest hotel at that time. One of the flaw, is the lack of air conditioning. So in summer, it may be very hot to stay there. Maybe it has changed these days, but I didn't see any air conditioning in your video. Will I go back to this hotel ? Probably not. It was perfect when I was 18, but today, I would prefer to stay in a hotel in Long Island City.

[@Willmillion1]

Its good as an experience but i don’t think i could share the bathroom with the others

[@ilyaLNYC]

Just don’t get drunk while staying at the hotel. The morning after might be a shucker 😀 Be interested to see it especially Banksy room but staying be bit too much for me. I’m surprised walls with Banksy not protected with plastic or something.

[@lohphat]

The Chelsea used to be this cool. I know someone who still lives there and the "new money" investors who bought it 10 years ago have RUINED it.

[@HereBeBarr]

😲

[@arina86]

I booked it for two week and I'm not sure now.

[@GuineaPig91]

i stayed here. Was fine except for the radiator in the room bursting and pissing water all over the floor :)

[@Evelyn-pl3we]

I am planning to take my boyfriend to NYC for his 30th bday (I'll be moving there in June and he lives in another state). I have been looking for fun things to do. This hotel seems really fun! If you all have any other ideas or places we should go (under $200 per person), please let me know!

[@BeingKansai]

It reminds me of certain Japanese “Love Hotels” lol

[@HereBeBarr]

😲

[@stenioal]

If they could garanti a private bathroom it would be a blis!

[@HereBeBarr]

They can, just costs more.

[@GyrlBlaque]

Some of those rooms I would sleep with eye open

[@itzmeee4]

I prefer something simple

[@yordyrdvlog4086]

Where is the address bro?

[@HereBeBarr]

Link description

[@Laughandsong]

This is far from budget : Almost 400 dollars Canadian dollars per night for a single bed and shared bathroom? Nope. That's the problem with NYC. The food and the entertainment fit all budgets and are amazing. But the lodging is way too expensive.

[@HereBeBarr]

Rooms start at 90 USD per night, you may be looking at the total for 4 nights?
