Location was fantastic. There’s so much to do in NYC that you really only need your room to sleep in or to have a break. It’s not luxury but does the job. We’d happily book to stay here again.

You’re staying here for the price and location, and that you will have. I wouldn’t probably do more than one night because these showers are not for me.

Psa for all travelers, the bathrooms are separated. The are down the hallway from the rooms. And security isn’t that great.

The rooms are fine. There could definitely be more restrooms. Restroom locks can be tricky. Most staff were great. One housekeeper was yelling at me and very rude for no reason. Location is wonderful on the upper westside.

I had a twin bed with a flat pillow. There are only 3 showers for the whole floor. The room was cool but the building is super old. If you’re on a budget this place is for you

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

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.
