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!
The window may have needed cleaning/ my phone. But my memory is PERFECT!

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

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.

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!
