    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.

    Location was ok but the room was dirty. The bed and bathroom were dirty. There was $10 fee per night that I had to pay. I stayed 3 nights so I had to pay $30. If I had known, I would not stay here.

    The extra cost for a Deluxe room was worth it. I had a full bathroom on the hall not a dorm style bathroom with a row of showers, sinks and toilet stalls. I wish a wash cloth was provided along with the towel. I appreciated the extra blanket but the fitted bottom sheet did not fit. It would come loose and become a big mess during the night. It is a reasonable lodging and great location. Easy to take the metro to Penn Station.
