I did live at The Jane Hotel in the 80s at the same time that RuPaul did. I was there for 2 years. I was a struggling actor and it was an exciting time in my life. The highest of highs the lowest of lows. Going to Broadway Shows and friends who were gay dying of AIDS. I now live in Florida and when i go to NYC I always stay at The Jane Hotel. It has a spiritual place in my life.

I loved my stay at the Jane. I too lost friends in the 80's to AIDS. What a terrible era. I'm sorry for your loss.

I lived there in the 80s when it was the Jane West Hotel. Seedy & spectacular!

A hotel with a lot of history. It looks like a cool place.

I stayed there in 2017, it was great. The whole place just had a lovely charm to it. I'm going back to NYC for Christmas, and was going to stay there again, but they have renovations going on so I have had to find an alternative.

Stayed in 1996 and again in 1999 when Hedwig opened with Ally Sheedy in the lead. Drag queens galore on the upper floors. That place was a trip. I think it was 40 bucks a night then. It was a good place to hide out when you wanted the world to go away for a while.

Cool place! Love it !

I stayed at the Jane in May of 2019 and really enjoyed my stay. Yes the rooms are tiny. I did not mind or bothered by the size. I highly recommend the Jane, if you are up for an adventure and not a princess. 😁

stayed there in 1993 - $20 per night - it was pre-renovation. Nasty but fun.

I have stayed at The Jane several times around 2010. I loved it. You meet
interesting, nice people in the common bathroom.

I toured the hotel in its prior, more raw days. Made a YMCA look luxurious! Ps isn't it becoming a condo?

Um, it is “ the angry inch”, not itch. 😉
