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.

A great place for a single traveler who just needs a bed, clean sheets, clean bathroom and a bonus of a full health club(although if you check in at 3pm the pool and steam/sauna close at 4.

Room was fine (basic, dorm style, no sink). Staff were very friendly. Bathroom was a mess (big puddle all day, broken fixtures). But amazing location. Worth it for the price.

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.
