Very good and cheap to just stay for the night, close to central park, and subways!

Estuvo bueno, sirve mucho si paseas todo el día y solo necesitas lugar para dormir. Las camas y almohadas son algo toscas pero está pasable. Hay piscina y sauna disponible para los huéspedes. Es muy seguro. Detalles: La máquina de bebidas de mi piso no funcionaba y había que ir a otros pisos a comprar. También el techo del baño se cayó una noche, lo bueno es que lo arreglaron por la mañana. Estuvo bien para el precio y para la ubicación que es excelente.

I had to pay an additional $60 during check-in. When I asked why, I was told it was a service fee. I thought I made all my payments through Expedia. If possible, I would like my money back that was taken under the name of service fee.

We had our own room, I have to say it is well maintained considering the facility’s age. The staff was kind, and the location was great. Unfortunately, my aunt on the bottom bunk bed couldn’t sleep due to bed bug bites. I’m not sure if I could request a refund for this inconvenience.

The room was clean. The toilets, showers and sinks were not clean. The mats at the gym were not clean either. The a/c in my room was not working properly but it got the room cool enough. The a/c was extremely noisy. The blinds in the room were broken. The hallway was terribly noisy. The rooms are mainly occupied by young students and most of them did lack respect by playing music with their room door open for every body to hear or setting up their speakers in the bathrooms. I was staying for a week. Every morning, evening and night, students would knock at my door thinking it was one of their fellow’s room or they would just knock for fun and run away.

I didn't like at all that the bathroom & room doors were constantly slamming shut in a very loud way; & the YMCA should find an expert to fix that type of terrible problem. Otherwise, constantly banging doors shut can keep their paying guests from falling asleep & getting some rest at night.

I am a women in my mid thirties. I stayed here for a couple of days in the end of May. The room was small with no bathroom. The pillow was quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, the aircon worked perfectly well. The room seemed pretty clean as well. Now for the facilities. The womens bathroom was cleaned on a regular basis. However, I saw a cockroach there during my second night. The staff promised me they would take care of it. The swimming pool was excellent. The womens wardrobe was clean with hundreds of lockers. Speaking of the staff - they did an excellent job. I felt welcomed and safe. They helped me out if I had any questions or concerns. I find that a huge plus since English is not my first language. The location of this hotel is top notch. I was able to find this despite it being my first time in NYC. The subways and Central Park are VERY close to the hotel. There were several restaurants, a Target plus a Sephora nearby too.

Next to Central Park and a couple minutes walk to the subway which was convenient for getting around the city. Plenty of shops nearby for food and drinks. Room was basic but that’s all I needed. Bathroom was in a good condition
