This hotel does not have proper air conditioning in the rooms, which makes staying there absolutely unbearable in the summer. It is very hot AND humid because their version of "AC" is a fan with water. They sent a technician to "fix it" but there wasn't much he could do.

I also found a large cockroach in my bathroom (picture attached). I called the front desk and a staff member came up and took care of the roach. However, no apology or money back was offered. I was only given keys to another room.

PS. I decided to leave the Gansevoort right after the roach incident and to stay at the Standard for my remaining 3 nights in NYC. The Gansevoort front desk employee still charged me for the night that I stayed there, even though a refund would have been much more appropriate given the circumstances.
