It’s the hotel from hell.
For $84, visitors to the New York Inn can snag a reeking room complete with musty mold, strange hairs in the bedsheets and muck-encrusted windows with views of neighboring cement walls.
The Times Square inn — voted the nation’s sixth-filthiest hotel and worst in the Big Apple last week by travelers on Tripadvisor.com — is a throwback to the dirty old days of the 1970s, when hotels like this one rented rooms by the hour, not the week.
The beat-up facade on Eighth Avenue, near the corner of West 47th Street, sports a faded blue and white sign, and inside, guests are greeted by a smiling clerk who waves them up a rickety staircase.
In Room 307, The Post found orange mold in the shower, a chipped toilet seat, ill-fitting ceiling tiles stained with water and piles of dust behind the headboard.
“Like drugs, rats and prostitution? Stay here,” wrote “Singo,” an English guest who entered his room to find a hotel cleaner sitting on the bed, smoking and watching TV.
The front-desk clerk told The Post the that Tripadvisor is always asking the New York Inn for money for better placement on its site — which the hotel has refused to pay.
“We deny the charges. This hotel is not filthy. It is a low-budget tourist spot in the heart of Times Square,” the outraged clerk said. “We are honest. We let people inspect the rooms before they pay.”
Tripadvisor spokeswoman Amelie Hurst said the company charges hotels only if they want to list phone numbers, Web addresses and e-mails on its site. Those fees have no impact on a hotel’s popularity, she said.
