Rocker Courtney Love, 44-year old widow of Kurt Cobain, was visiting her 16-year old daughter Frances Bean on June 17 in New York City. She was staying at The Inn at Irving Place, and apparently completely trashed her hotel room in 8 hours flat.

Love apparently left behind dirty needles and used feminine hygiene products, and also flooded the floor. Damage caused was to the tune of $5,000.  Page 6 reports that on June 18, TMZ filmed her in front of the hotel, emptying the contents of her purse to reveal “a pill holder” filled with the sleep aid Sonata, “more pills,” and a syringe.

The Inn at Irving Place counts itself among the upscale and storied New York hotels, located in the heart of New York’s historical Gramercy Park, along with Lady Mendl’s Tea Salon and the Cibar Lounge. Built in 1834, the two landmark townhouses have been meticulously transformed to recreate a bygone era of gracious living.

Rooms range from $445 to $645 per night. Residences from $325 to $450 per night. All rooms are equipped with Frette bed and bath linens, hand-held hair dryers, Sony CD/Radio/Alarm or iPod docking stations, two line phone with teleport connection, wireless internet connection, minibar, work desk, air conditioning, remote digital cable television with HBO and DVD, Penhaligon’s fine bathroom amenities, and full-size mirrors.
