Good enough
I stay here a lot. It’s the Y, not the Ritz, so my expectation is never high. But it’s fine, clean enough. Usually the check-in security people are great. This time, they lost my driver’s license for a bit and the guard mistakenly thought I didn’t belong there and hassled me until he realized he was wrong. It’s New York.

The vibe of this place is closer to homeless shelter than hotel. The location is great, but it just feels generally sketchy.

Dashing thru The Apple 🍎
Quick and easy! The Y is no frills and most importantly “ECONOMICAL” I appreciate there service for the price. Only situation that was a bit annoying was the person at the luggage storage. A little bully and not pleasant at all. The younger lady was lovely and helpful. My only complaint

Shops are close as well as iconic tourist attractions within a nice morning walking distance!

Great and affordable place to stay in NYC.

This is a YMCA so it's not fair to expect the Waldorf for the prices they charge. For the money, it's hard to beat if you're looking for budget accomodation in Midtown; fantastic location a block from Lincoln Center and some of the rooms even have views of Central Park. Bathrooms are mostly shared and mine had hot water problems but staff were great.

it felt like a prison. and none of the stalls in the bathroom had a lock.

10th Floor room were poorly maintained. Very few outlets. TV not working. Internet spotty. Bathrooms small and crapped. In the past, other floors have been better.

It is a dorm style property, location is great in Manhattan, but inner condition is just average. I left my bath towel at public bathroom and it was missing overnight. So be mindful of personal belongings.

Easy to find and as long as you're just after a cheap room to stay at then you'll have no problems

Desk staff great. Bed and pillow bad. Bathroom fair—several toilet doors did not latch. The sink area was dirty and the floor wet all the time. One tiny towel, no washcloth.
