    Very well located, it's a very strategic home base for someone that wants to be in the heart of NYC but also not in the middle of all the chaos. My only comment would be that I stayed for 6 days and no one attempted to do house cleaning in my room.

    The staff did not share any information, like check-out time, etc. You have to ask about it. The rooms are cramped, and the pillows are very thin. However, I did not expect better conditions and chose this hotel because of its lower price.

    This is an amazing place to stay! Wonderful gym facilities and beautiful pool. I loved access to steam room and sauna. Extremely handy for Lincoln Centre and NYPL. And right on Central Park. Also appreciated that the subway station nearby was accessible, so great for luggage moving. Might have been an off evening for someone but check-in was not particularly friendly or welcoming. But I was delighted overall.

    Quick and easy! The Y is no frills and most importantly “ECONOMICAL” I appreciate there service for the price. Only situation that was a bit annoying was the person at the luggage storage. A little bully and not pleasant at all. The younger lady was lovely and helpful. My only complaint

    Location was great, and overall the ymca itself felt pretty safe to me. The bathrooms did not feel that clean to me, the floors in my room felt pretty gross so I made sure not to take my shoes off and my sheets and twin bed were thin and uncomfortable. Additionally, I had such a hard time falling asleep (literally played white noise on noise canceling headphones) because I could hear the pipes banging, clearly hear anyone walking past my room door or entering the bathroom which was next door to me. This was my first time not staying in a hotel/friends place so I realize I may have come in with higher expectations but I also paid $110 and I think if I’d looked for better deals and spent $30-40 more I could’ve at least gotten my own bathroom and slept through the night.

    The vibe of this place is closer to homeless shelter than hotel. The location is great, but it just feels generally sketchy.
