West Side YMCA

Extremely disappointed. The gym and changing rooms was closed for 3 days without any compensation, no WIfI 1 day, no compensation.

Dirty...everywhere. The ac unit barely worked, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and loud, and you could hear a pin drop on the other side of the hotel (meaning you heard everything going on at all times).

Best location of any hotel in Manhattan! Single-occupancy bathrooms/showers on 12th floor are worth trying to book a room on the 12th floor. (Or maybe all the restrooms have been renovated now). I wish there was an outlet near the bed, though.

There was a surprise $10 required amenities fee

Great location and having access to the Y's full gym and pool is fantastic. The accommodations are dorm-like, but definitely better than hostel with private bedrooms with a mini fridge and individual shared bathrooms rather than a multi-stall public bathroom. I felt safe, and it was very quiet. Overall, it's not as comfortable as a traditional hotel, but the gym, location, and value make it an excellent option for someone traveling on a budget.
