The Hotel Carter is adjacent to Times Square in Midtown Manhattan and within an easy walk of some of the finest shopping in the world. It is a sightseer's delight because so many of the city's landmarks are close by. Your room will be a model of simplicity, and it will include a private bath, air conditioning and a cable television. Because the rooms are small, this hotel is not configured as much for families as it is for the youthful traveler.
