The sound of ventilator plant was significant. However, I had earplugs that solved the problem completely.
Nice place. The room was small but comfortable. The location is great. Central Park is in one minute walk, Times Square is in 20 minutes. Its price is the best for its location and conveniences. Bathroom/restroom was tidy and under constant cleaning. There are many families with children in this place. Coffee in the buffet on ground floor was as good as in the nearest Starbucks but much cheaper. This place is really the best choice in New York for people without big money.

Only one little thing.. when I checked in the girl just handed me room key. I had to ask where the room was. A little information on the layout of the YMCA and maybe what’s nearby would be helpful
Loved my room. Bathrooms were perfect.. plenty of them.. always clean.. water always warm in shower. Loved the individual bathrooms. My bedroom was cleaned every day. Friendly staff no fuss. 24hour desk. Kiosk downstairs very handy if wanted a handy snack. Water available on site. Excellent location near cafes Central Park and subway

A little more room in the rooms and a comfortable chair. An electric kettle would have been a bonus. But at the price, who's complaining?
Location brilliant, near the Lincoln Centre, Central Park and great restaurants. The gym is also one of the best equipped I have seen. The trainers are top class, and plenty of free classes to enjoy. There is also 5 lane 25 yard pool which is never really busy.
