Here’s how New York’s migrant hotel fits in with new digs

Dozens of migrants stomp their feet because they have to trade their free digs at a three-star hotel in Manhattan for hangar-like living conditions in Brooklyn—no wonder.

The migrants say the Watson Hotel on West 57th Street, where they are based thanks to the city, is a great place in Manhattan with easy access to shops and even jobs.

They said that there were no more than two of them in the room – sometimes they themselves enjoyed the whole space, including a separate bathroom and shower.

According to the immigrant, each of them was also issued a MetroCard for two trips daily.

But to alleviate the lack of space, the city is trying to move single men to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook.

While the structure boasts stunning water views, the 1,000-person hideout isn’t as glamorous.

The huge open area of ​​the terminal is filled with hundreds of cribs lined up next to each other, covered in a green blanket and one white pillow, according to a video shared with The Post on Monday.

The bathrooms are clean but shared, each with eight toilets and four sinks. Sources at City Hall said there were about 85 or 90 toilets in total.

Many migrants complain about the lack of warmth and privacy in the institution and its relative remoteness from city life.

The cruise terminal is not served by the metro, but migrants are provided with a ferry ride.

And forget about private showers. Men must leave the main facility and enter the mobile trailers outside to find a shower stall, but only if they order first.

“A cruise ship terminal is better than a homeless shelter where there were a lot of crazy American men and American men on drugs,” said the 42-year-old Venezuelan migrant.

“But the cruise ship terminal is not as good as the hotel.”

Mayor’s office spokesman Fabian Levy told The Post on Monday: “This weekend, we began the process of moving single adult men from the Watson Hotel to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal as we move the hotel to accommodate large numbers of asylum-seeking families with children.”

“More than 43,000 asylum seekers have arrived in New York since last spring, and we continue to exceed our moral obligations by providing asylum seekers with housing, food, health care, education and a host of other services.”

“The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal facilities will provide the same services as any other humanitarian aid center in the city, and the planned move to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal this weekend proceeded as planned. We continue to be in dire need of support from both our state and the federal government.”
