This was probably around 2004. I loved that the place had a hip history, plus loved all the dark wood, the small but high ceiling-ed rooms, the funky lights in the airshafts, & of course the bargain prices. I stayed there many times after that first visit, & I encouraged friends to stay there as well. Sad to see it go. J.

Our first stay in NY in our lifetime was Hotel 17, I never knew it was that famous but we liked it a lot, and yes, sharing a bathroom is no problem to us babyboomers from Holland. We have seen worse (all over the world).... We had room 705, 1 and 2 November 2005. This terrible event makes coming to Manhattan a lot less attractive. We were planning but we have to find another place to stay.......Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361234946189354889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-24178866528560286892017-05-15T09:26:08.646-04:002017-05-15T09:26:08.646-04:00This is really sad.

I stayed there for a month in the early '90s when I was between apartments, and I stay there now every time I am in NYC--last time was a few weeks ago.

This sounds like the city is part of the blame as they let them operate like this without formal paperwork for the better part of a century. This Hotel should be put on the endangered species list and protected not shuttered! It represents New York's historically significant bohemian culture from another era that has been essentially eradicated. Actually one can argue its very existence as a business while lacking official hotel licencing is indeed a product of the culturally significant times this hotel came to materialize.

I'm lost. Between this, Mariellas Pizza, Gramercy Cafe! The neighborhood seems lost to me. This place was always a buzz. The people from all walks of life. Everyone was kind, and James behind the desk always knew me and ask how life was in Ohio on my farm. A huge part of my New York is lost.
