Manhattan Bowery Lodge

We like being in Chinatown. The price was good for 5 nights.

We were mistreated and discriminated against by an older Asian lady that was just another resident. My girlfriend and I were verbally abused and accused by this lady, and the day manager at first just offered to move us. Offended at this, I demanded at least one night's fee refunded which I did get, but the sting of being shouted at in the hallways of the hotel by the same lady,"I HAVE CLEAN MONEY, AND YOU HAVE DIRTY MONEY!" still remains. The day manager ended up revealing to my girlfriend that the lady watched me pay cash at the counter, and from there took offense, and thought that we were up to no good. SMH. As a black hard working couple from Bermuda, this was the last thing that we expected to be dealing with on our second visit to Chinatown, since June. Thankfully we video taped one of the instances when we were shouted at while at the counter trying to resolve the issue with management. I shared it on my Facebook timeline, and let my followers know that I will never spend my 'dirty money' at The Manhattan Bowery Lodge again in life. I we plan on making several return trips to NYC because I am a DJ. Promoter, Radio Personality, and martial artist that has competed in tournaments in the New York area....

Sharing bathroom and small room

We Like Chinatown. THat is it.

U can't make this stuff up. I have been coming to the States since I was a boy. This trip is the first time EVER in my life that I have felt discriminated against because of my race, or look. In the midst of us trying to just have a good time and celebrate life, witness daily miracles, and just Jah moving by His Spirit on this trip, we had to deal with being verbally abused and harrassed by an older Chinese lady that was just another guest like us..I have never had to do the whole,"Let me speak to your manager," thing but I could not just stand by, and after having this lady all in my face, all in Larrita's face, and on top of that accuse us both of having 'dirty money', because apparently she saw me pay for our room in cash, when we first checked in. Like WTH, so because this BLACK man rolls up in your cheap Chinatown hotel and pays cash, my money is dirty, and we are a bunch of black scum bags disturbing your peace...seriously..and then the management has the nerve to offer us another room so that we could move....no brah, u need to give me some money back, and I know I was easy by just asking for one night fee back...we been here since Wednesday, and not until we confronted the manager, did we find out that this nosey lady, watched me as I counted my money, and then proceeded to complain to the manager behind our backs, and accused us of being bad people with dirty money..Like real talk people, I thought Larrita was exaggerating until the woman interrupted my convo with the manager, and said it to my face,"I have clean money, YOU have dirty money!"...with all that we have been dealing with back home, that experience just threw us for a loop right quick. Needless to say, The Manhattan Bowery Lodge will NEVER get my #dirtymoney again...

The plce is very Filthy.
