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

Something is wrong with the wiring in this place. Was put in room 902. Only 1 outlet (which had 1 plug-in) in the room worked and it was for the window unit. Had a TV on the other side of the room but that outlet didn't work nor the others in the room. Requested new room. Got moved to 901. Room slightly bigger (all rooms in NYC are small) & had a mini frig. Managed to get 3 total plug-ins from 2 outlets to work. Had to rotate the air conditioner, mini frig and 2 cell phones, TV, hair straightener, & Garmin watch on them. Over head light would dim / brighten back & forth. $10 per day at check-in for access to amenities. Room very basic but you get what you need (if outlets work). You get 1 towel per person so bring a wash cloth. Extra blankets available in the room. Beds were comfy though whoever sleeps on top bunk needs not be someone who tosses a lot at night as the whole frame wiggles. Bathrooms were separated from men & women. Dorm style. Was given a code to get in the bathroom on our floor but it opened without it. There is 3 bathroom stales & 3 shower stales. Never had a problem getting either at any time. Nice hot water. Smoke free. Elevators timely. There was always someone watching who entered the lobby. I like that & most of them were nice, but a couple had attitudes. Location was fantastic. Felt safe. Central Park 1/2 block away. 1 street over from where to enter through security for the grandstands to the marathon. 2 blocks to the subway at Columbus Circle.

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.

I was charged additional $20 at arrival which was not mentioned any where online while booking. Bathrooms are shared and are in terrible condition and due renovation. They charge additional for even keeping your luggage after checkout.

It’s expensive and uncomfortable. Beds are squeaky, the room really small and the staff not always helpful.

I’ve been visiting NYC on a regular basis since the late 90’s, and I had been to YMCA before, but this was the dirtiest room I have ever been to. Extremely dirty! When I tried to walk around the room, my flip flops would stay behind, because it was as if there were glue in the carpet, which was extremely dirty, sticky, and with hair all over the place. Awful! They haven’t cleaned that room for ages, and I doubt they have changed the sheets. The floor in the Common bath was wet all the time, like a pond. Dirty sink and hair all over the place. Do not recommend!

We were two guests and got two towels the first day. The second day they did not change them. I requested a change at the front desk and was promised that the housekeeper will put them in my room, but nothing has happened. I asked again and again and got only promises, but no towels. The last day of my stay I had to go to the front desk and argue with an operator to finally get two towels. The housekeeper did not do our room during our 3 days-stay.

A really bad place and very bad experience.
The place is so not clean. The floor is sticky and the bathrooms are horrible. Check-in is at 3 pm and they charge $4 for storing luggage before check-in. Luggage is stored until 7 pm only. The staff is so unfriendly. I am glad I stayed for only 1 night.

It's the Y so don't expect it to be a hotel, even a cheap hotel! I had a room without a private bathroom (which most of them are). The room had a single bed, a table, metal chair and that was it. Couldn't open the window but the a/c was ok. The floor wasn't particularly clean although the bedding seemed ok. Bring an extension cord since the outlets are far from the bed. Bathroom like a dorm bathroom from the early 1960s! But most of the time the West Side Y is the cheapest thing in Manhattan. And the location is fantastic!! Right across from Lincoln Center, near Columbus Circle. Very, very upscale, pretty, safe neighborhood.
