The Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown opened up for the first time in three years on Friday to house the influx of asylum seekers.

The hotel is the ninth Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center to open in the Big Apple as the city tries to cope with the ongoing surge of migrants. According to the Mayor’s office, the facility is offering temporary accommodation to families with children, while adults without children are permitted to use the common areas in the front of the hotel.
