Just the basics
This hotel is literally just the basics, but if you're here for New York, it shouldn't really matter. The hotel served it's purpose - a bed to sleep on after a full day and night of out and about. When I first arrived, the first thing I noticed in my room was this long hair on my desk, I just ended up throwing it away. It's not the cleanest of places, but with the location that I was getting, I wasn't mad. Showers were a bit of a frustration in the mornings. The wait was something, but it never really took that long to get a shower open. The front desk seemed to have a little bit of an attitude, maybe just a tired staff, a little snippy. My only dealings with them were at check-in and check-out though, so luckily I didn't get their attitude all the time. Overall for the price and the location, I will be back and I am already planning my next trip.

Budget bedroom in the heart of Manhattan
For the budget concern, you will not find better deal than this place, the gym at ground floor is superb. The room is small but enough for sleeping if you are not picky. The bathroom is conveniently quiet and clean enough for sharing. The best for the value in NYC short trip. Warning- No Luxury here, you get what you pay for, but great location .

At the Y
This is bare bones. It was however, clean. The room is a mere 7 feet by 10 with a bed, a dresser, tv and refrigerator. The baths were clean and the front desk staff friendly.

Excellent for budget conscious visitors
All I needed the room for was to sleep. That is what I got. As a bonus the gym amenities were available for me. Clean rooms with the bare essentials.

Acceptable
Unlike many shady hotels, YMCA is an acceptable choice for those who do not need more than the bare bottom basic accommodation and who do not want to spend unnecessary amount of money. It is nice for those who appreciate Y's gym, steam room, sauna, etc.

great crash pad!
if you are looking for cheap dorm-room type lodging near Park Avenue, it doesn't get any better! might want to bring a reading lamp or a clip-on book light, might want to bring slippers for that long walk down the hall to the shared bathroom. might want to bring an extra blanket or very light sleeping bag to supplement the thin bed covers. might want to bring kleenex or tissues for your room. other than that, it's great! expect a dorm room, and your expectations will be met or exceeded. expect a hotel, and you will be less than satisfied.

don't try Cafe Basil even though the Y has its promotional flyers on the check-in counter. it is abysmal.
