The Jane Hotel

Terrible Stay I had a terrible stay at this hotel. It's under construction- plaster dust, plastic floor protectors and no part of the rest of the hotel open. I was not warned about this ahead of time. My room was the size of a closet and I had to walk quite a way to the bathroom, which I shared with all the workers bunking on my floor. The whole place was dusty and dirty. And they charged full price.

Do NOT stay here! It’s not what it used to be I’ve been staying at the Jane for many years as it was quaint, full of history and affordable for a solo traveller. It had a beautiful front lobby with all the staff dressed in burgundy old fashioned porter uniforms. Not any more! The entrance is down some stairs with no signage snd I was greeted with a gentleman wearing flannel. I usually recommend this to friends. But I warn you, DO NOT STAY HERE!! 90 percent of the hotel is under construction and I was actually shocked they were charging regular prices and aren’t more detailed about the construction on their website. Construction workers started at 7am and were constantly working in the stairwell making it very unsafe for guests. The signage was not clear and you never really knew where you were suppose to walk. I ended up in construction areas by accident trying to find my way. Tripped twice and almost falling and getting dust everywhere. I don’t know how this is even legal!!! I felt very unsafe passing workers with huge boards and passing scaffolding in the stairwells. Plus all the dust that is everywhere. I’m not sure what I actually breathed during my stay! The rooms were at least clean enough but you are walking to the showers with construction workers everyone. This will be my last time staying at the Jane!!

Misrepresentation! The website does not show or describe this in its current state. We were made aware of the construction but had no idea how bad it would be. We had to share a mixed bathroom with construction workers. We stayed one night and checked out, and two months later we are still chasing a refund and threatening legal action.

Filthy nightmare I stayed at the Jane October 5th-9th, 2023. The hotel is under going major renovations and this was explained me at the time of the booking. The room was what I expected however, the filth is not. The carpet is my room was so dirty that I had to keep a towel over it. The elevator was not working half the time and I had to lug my stuff up three flights of stairs. The bathrooms were not clean and I never saw anyone cleaning them. The windows in the hall were left open in the hallway. Someone was smoking cigarettes either in their room or hallway. The walls are thin but the doors are heavy, so you could easily hear other people, and since bathrooms are shared, you could hear heavy doors closing all times of the day and night. I have never stayed in such disgustingly filthy hotel with construction noise on top of it. What a scam to be charged 200 a night.

Best Hotel Best Location The JANE HOTEL is NoT what it used to be_It was charming, safe, always a good restaurant & most importantly the Staff & Management were Impeccable and welcoming & Truthful !!. THIS IS NOT THE CASE ANY LONGER! First of all the Hotel is under a 2 year or longer reconstruction! the prices have gone up $100 a night at least!!! & DURING CONSTRUCTION, and they DO NOT WARN YOU UNTIL YOU CHECK IN! Too LATE!! I can understand raising the prices in a year or two after construction is completed!! However, NEVER DURING CONSTRUCTION, NOISE & OBSTACLES & rude workman everywhere!! Does not feel safe. The management has completely changed and do not respond to your inquiries or even to emails ??¿¿ REALLY? I have been coming to The Jane Hotel for 12 years or more! Basically same staff & management. Always helpful, kind and welcoming ~ which to me is important as a solo traveller! I always have had great rapport with everyone. It has always felt like coming home! THIS IS NOT THE CASE ANY LONGER!!! The rooms WERE adequate but perfectly clean. The shared bathrooms always had excessive hot water and were cleaned several times a day. $700 for 3 nights. Their website which i book from mentions NO CONSTRUCTION ~ which is odd that they do not warn you before booking. Also major construction across the street! Jolly good Time (NOT) !! I am not sure if the hotel was bought by another company and old management left or were fired, thinking it is my second thought! Sadly i WILL NOT EVER BE RETURNING TO THIS ONCE MAGICAL ICONIC HOTEL! There are plenty of great Hotels in NY for the same price and for sure better than what has sadly happened to The Jane. THE END_️ If you do stay here: greatest American cafe classic icon is La Bonbonniere. Breakfast is cheap and delicious outdoor tables too weather permitting.. classic egg dishes and delicious pancakes! Go here.
