It’s the end of an error.

New York City’s last-standing — and most notorious — migrant hotel will soon stop housing illegal border crossers, The Post has learned.

The once-four-star Row NYC hotel on Eighth Avenue in Midtown was repurposed in October 2022, so its 1,331 rooms could be used as a shelter while the Big Apple dealt with the crippling migrant crisis, but Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the city’s $5.13 million-a-month contract with the hotel won’t be renewed in April.

The deal has allowed the hotel — which is owned by Boston-based real estate titan Rockpoint Group — to already rake in more than $170 million.

There will be, undoubtedly, lawsuits and some federal judge will rule it can't be shut down.

I read those migrants aren't going anywhere. The city is moving them to shelters. Not the Waldorf, perhaps, but still taxpayer-funded.

I wonder what the inside of that place looks like now...?
What's it going to cost 'em to fix up ...?
