Nice simple room with bunk bed. Shared bathroom and access to gym and group classes. Doorman in lobby. Nice staff.
The room was small- BUT WHAT a VIEW!!! Location, Location, Location! A block off Central Park, Lincoln center for morning coffee… it’s an old YMCA - but the ambiance is charming/ just don’t forget your shower slippers. Housekeeping staff - amazing! Children’s art projects displayed in the lobby made my stay perfection!
Nobody clean my room in 4 days!! Don’t change the towels!!

Bathrooms were disgusting. Has a single room and bed was pretty much just springs. There was an extra $10 fee per day that wasn’t on the fine print, but I had not choice but to sign it
Very friendly. Clean. Secure. Best location in NY.

Rooms adequate for price. Very conveniently located. Had to pay $10 membership fee.
Bathrooms pretty scuzzy. Toilets overflowing. Some sinks both only one faucet worked. For one person out all day. Certainly a reasonable choice.
Pillow was dirty room felt dirty as well. The bathrooms are dark and dirty. Had booked for two nights and had to leave after one night of no sleep. Not comfortable or clean. Lost my money.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff is nice and coming back late at night I felt welcomed and safe!! I felt safe in my room as well. Giving 4 stars just since the place maybe wasn’t the most sanitary which is a given. Such as stains on sheets, bathrooms not being cleaned, and the major leak that was covered half the bathroom floor lol. I’d say again though!
