The Waverly Hotel

DONT BOOK THIS PLACE. I called on a Thursday to reserve a room for 5 – 6 people for a photoshoot. I was a little apprehensive on whether or not they would let me but the guy I spoke to told me it was fine. I told him all my information, the reason I would be there, the amount of people and the time slot (9am-​2pm). Called on a Saturday to confirm my reservation and THANK GOD I DID. This moron tried to act like he had no clue who I was (yet he seemed to remember that someone by my name wanted a room for a photoshoot). I kept confirming my information over and over again and suddenly someone else comes on the line telling me, they didn’t reserve ANYTHING and in fact, the cost of the room wouldn’t be $ 80 like I was told but $ 200…
Unbelievable, what a shit show!

How i know what i know of the waverly hotel is because i shot a short film there. it was chosen because it represented the closest thing the filmmaker could find or think of that gave you the impression that you were in India, where the film takes place.
i cannot comment on the service you might get were you to stay here, but i did experience the rooms. the room we used for our equipment had a gaping hole in the bathroom ceiling exposing the lathe and the holes through which furry friends might come for a spot of tea and crumpets (probably more the crumpets.).
the beds had bedspreads and headboards and seemed clean. but look for no amenities at all except the snack bar downstairs. which i believe is just a bar — the reception bar — with some chocolate bars and gum and stuff on it. we were only on the second floor, but i didnt see any elevator and i dont think there was one. there was a great wide staircase that had a nice think wooden railing that led to the floors above. some folks live in this hotel and smoking is allowed in the rooms; perhaps this is true only if you live there. the walls of both the rooms we were in needed to be painted and cleaned and the general feeling was pretty down and out. I didn’t feel like this was a hotel for tourists. If youre a tourist and your budget is tight, id sooner look for a hostel than stay here.
