The location is fantastic for tourists with many sights within walking distance. Friendly staff, check-in and check-out was quick and easy. The room was small but clean with fresh towels and bed linens provided daily.
United States of AmericaThe price and location were great. Housekeeping brought me a small refrigerator on request. You can use the pool and take any of the fitness classes.
United States of AmericaThe location was perfect! There was a bus stop at the end of the street and the subway around the corner. It is located just a couple of blocks from Columbus Circle, so it was very convenient. I was also surprised at how clean it was. And even though it was winter we were never cold - even had to turn the air on at night. It has everything we needed at a very reasonable price.
United States of AmericaI loved the location. It's under 20 minutes walk from Times Square but you def need to use the public transportation. Also, it was very very clean. They cleaned our room every day and the restrooms smelled nice and they were clean.
EstoniaStaff was excellent. The Y doesn’t mess around. I’m a boxing coach at the Oswego Y and I felt like I was right at home at the West Side. For the low price, it is very much worth it. Quiet at night. Right across from Central Park. Two 90 degree pools. A huge gym. Child care while you work out. I had my 5 year old and she loved every minute at the y. Bathrooms were clean and had great water pressure. We will be back during the Summer for a yanks game...
United States of AmericaI love that you can use all the Y facilities and take the group classes.
United States of AmericaValue for money. Staying in Manhattan for $ 100 per night isn’t easy. But West Side makes it achievable. It’s a choice that we’ve to make: spend money in an expensive hotel or stay in West Side and use the money for something else. I’m happy with the conditions I found in West Side. It met my expectations. The best of all is the gym. Superb! Location is also fantastic. Metro station to everywhere is located just 4 min walking.
MozambiqueWe thought this property was a good value. There were 13 of us visiting NYC and for what it would have cost us in National Brand Hotels, we spent half that amount and were able to spend money on attractions and visits with family. Also we had teenage girls with us and they were able to stay close to adults and we felt safe with them there. There is also good security at the entrance. The semi-private bathrooms that we used were also always clean.
United States of AmericaThe location is great. Easy to check in and check out. My room was pretty clean. The gym was quite extensive, from free weights to machines, heavy bags, basketball, running track and more..
United States of AmericaNice Housekeepers..but honestly not every nice staff. I would only recommend friends to live here because of the price and location!
