Well, okay. But please do a thorough cleaning first.

A chic hotel in the heart of Broadway has been quietly operating as a migrant shelter — the latest sign of the growing Big Apple crisis.
The 141-room Square Hotel at 226 West 50th Street between Eighth Avenue and Broadway is just across from Gershwin Theatre, where the musical “Wicked” is playing, The Post has learned.
“To our valued guests: it is with great sadness that we announce the Square Hotel will be closed for the foreseeable future. We appreciate your patronage and hope to welcome you back someday soon,” the Square Hotel says on its Facebook page.

One critic said “lazy” hotel operators even in the Great White Way have concluded that it’s more profitable to take the easy money from the city to fully occupy their rooms with migrants rather than book tourists.
“These hotels could be doing a fine tourist business right now, but they are being lazy, and a sure-thing 100-percent occupancy on the city dime, and without having to provide traditional hotel services, is just too good a deal to pass up,” said Nicole Gelinas, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
Other pro-business advocates said it’s sad that the city and the hotel industry are...

I requested removal of this duplicate post.
So if/when the illegals leave, who pays to restore the trashed hotel? Or does the owner just walk away?
Well, okay. But please do a thorough cleaning first.
Do the same in Illegal’s countries and you’ll be lucky to get a blindfold before they shoot you
They won’t be welcoming anybody but the rats. The third-world illegals will trash that place in no time, just as they have done with other formerly fine NYC hotels.

Yep. The city is paying these hotels top-dollar to house the illegals. I wonder if the contracts say the city will pay for all clean up and repair if and when the illegals leave.
If not, the hotels are taking a bit of a chance.
It’s astonishing how The New York Post can give a passionless matter-of-fact account of their namesake city/state turning into a third world country at breakneck speed without even flinching.
“elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences”. more true today than ever. popcorn anyone?
Maybe Forest Biden will buy the illegal aliens tickets to the shows. That would be nice.
It is a good deal only because the taxpayers are financing it and they are not yet connecting the dots.
Imagine that, a soft invasion funded by the taxpayers; the perfect revolution and country-grab.
And it appears, our political opposition is sitting it out.
NYC isn’t NYC , anymore.
Taxpayers.
Someone should compile a list of hotels across the country so people can avoid those hotels on principal and because, no matter how much thryvtry, thry are not going to be able to thoroughly clean up the filth the migrants leave behind. I would never knowing stay at one of them.
Maybe the cartels are paying Adams to keep the illegal drug dealers comfortable so drug traffic keeps flowing.
Congratulations on the obvious answer :-)
You don’t need a list of hotels for NYC where you don’t want to stay. You don’t need to go to NYC. You need to avoid going there.
"And just like that, all the Broadway shows were sold out."
Who wants to bet me that damages to the place will be 120% of the revenue??? OR MORE??
Will do. But, I was hoping for a nationwide list.
