This was a gem of a spot! Right between two subway stops! Across the street from Central Park. Safe, convenient and a good "home base". Room was tiny - but sufficient! Had a mini fridge to store water. Room was difficult for two people to get ready at the same time - but there are separate bathrooms available if you need space. I always saw someone cleaning bathrooms - all times of day / night. I think there were 13 bathrooms/showers on our floor. Never a problem or wait to use when I wanted. There a water refill station (first floor behind security) - bring your bottle with you. There's also a target two blocks up for misc. Amazingly different people staying - not any one demographic. Would definitely stay again.

This is an amazing YMCA. It’s located next to everything and especially if you’re on a single trip this is where you wanna stay and see the city. Between this and public transit, New York has Affordable. Spend the money on something else not room and Ubers

If you don’t plan to spend much time in your room, this is the cheapest deal you can find. Proximity to Central Park and Columbus Circle subway station was ideal. Wish the bathrooms were cleaned maintained better.

Best location of any hotel in Manhattan! Single-occupancy bathrooms/showers on 12th floor are worth trying to book a room on the 12th floor. (Or maybe all the restrooms have been renovated now). I wish there was an outlet near the bed, though.

A great place for a single traveler who just needs a bed, clean sheets, clean bathroom and a bonus of a full health club(although if you check in at 3pm the pool and steam/sauna close at 4.
