The rooms are small but we didn't need much room since we were only there to sleep, change, and shower. So didn't mind sharing bathrooms with others, either. The floors could've been cleaner cuz there was hair on the floors, but other than that I would definitely stay there again if I ever go to new york again. Everything is so close by!! Central Park, Time Square, shopping and a variety of food carts to choose from!! The location is excellent, and so is the price!!

Price was great and based on that my expectations were low. Unfortunately it didn’t come close to meeting even my low expectations. Would not return.

Central and good basics

Amazing location, kind staff, and good basic accomodations. I had single room with the necessary amenities incl. a small fridge which was nice. The bed was on wheels and would move around during the night which was annoying. Easy access to Central Park and Columbus Circle was great and overall it was a good experience.

Great location close to subway, Central Park and Broadway. Gym and pool were fabulous. Reception staff were very helpful. Rooms and bathrooms are older, often things didn't work eg lamp or no chair in the room and the bathrooms were cramped.

First thing first, they charge an extra 10 dollar per night when you check in. Then Very tiny and old room. Noisy window A/C unit.

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 called several times and could not reach the ymca west side. No one seems to ever answer the phone nor did I know how to leave a message. I could not utilize my reservation, at the last minute and wanted to communicate this and ask to see if I could transfer it to a date next week.

Room is good but pillow is very uncomfortable. Three bathroom stalls but only one closes, three shower stalls but only one has decent pressure. One night I had to shower with no hot water. Front desk won’t call you a taxi and you have to pay $4 dollars per bag for them to keep it if you come early for check out

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.

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.

Budget lodging near Lincoln Center The M7 and M11 stop at the corner on Broadway. There is no restaurant in the buildlng. I stayed in room 824. The safe was large enough for a 13-inch laptop. The television linked to news. There was an attractive mirrro. The bed was uncomfortable. There was no sheet. The mattress was lumpy. I had trouble finding any position for sleep. The chain lock was missing a bolt; it could not be locked.
