If you don’t plan to spend much time in your room, this is the cheapest deal you can find. Proximity to Central Park and Columbus Circle subway station was ideal. Wish the bathrooms were cleaned maintained better.

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.

Floor in private bunk bed room had not been mopped in ages; semi private bathrooms not cleaned frequently and often were out of toilet paper. On last night of stay, group of twenty-:something’s were running up and down hallways naked, occasionally yelling(twelfth floor).

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.
