Cockroaches in the rooms.Good price, good localization, nice service and really gym but becouse of worms in the rooms I cant give better opinion.

This is a review for the YMCA camp. Bottom line: it really is a failure. My son is the easiest boy in town. He's 6. But, for a day camp, he feels let down. There are supposed to be activities, field trips and, at least, excursions outdoors to a park. Miostly they sit in a gym. They play 'duck duck goose' and a number of other similar games -in one place, with little real camp experience. Both my friend and a friend from his school are there, and they both said it. Bored and uninspired. Basically one day in the week if fun. Two weeks ago they got to dress up for a 'fashion show.' -nice, but thirty minutes of fame and... a boring week. At one point they couldn't go outside, I was told, because there weren't enough counselors. -And, of the 'counselors' not much to say. They seem untrained, too young, with few ideas in their heads for the kids. They provide nothing. No lunch or snacks. Or towels if they go swimming (1 time per week, maximum, unless you choose the swim camp). Interestingly, we ran into another boy, Josh, and his mom whom my son knew. He had been to the YMCA camp last year. His mom said he only realized how bad it was in comparison with the camp he went to this year. It seems relatively safe.

Recently, I had an unsettling experience at the YMCA. When I inquired about membership prices, the receptionist, who seemed to be a woman of Asian Indian descent, displayed a noticeably impatient attitude. It felt as though I was intruding on her important work, and her level of irritation was quite unpleasant. She carried herself with an air of superiority, as if she were the owner of the establishment, despite likely earning the minimum wage of $15 an hour. She seemed to relish a sense of authority she perhaps had never experienced before, which made me very uncomfortable.What was even more surprising was that she demanded my parents sign a document, yet she provided us with no paper to do so. This lack of professionalism was quite shocking.To add to my frustration, after I signed the document and returned, I observed her interacting with white customers in a completely different manner. She was extremely friendly and polite to them, smiling and eagerly offering assistance. Furthermore, when I asked to see the YMCA membership prices while she was holding the price list, she completely ignored my request. This stark contrast in treatment and lack of professionalism made me seriously question the quality and fairness of the service at the YMCA.

As of Aug 7, 2020 it is a 220 bed shelter for the homeless,so no longer a regular gym, health club, hotel, etc. Officials have stated this is 6 month trial, but could easily go longer. There is huge demand for homeless shelter on east side and they have told their gym/health club members that once gyms are allowed to reopen post COVID their membership cards will be accepted at other Ys in NYC.

I stayed 4 nights. Great dorm like accommodations. The rooms are small but sufficient. Has A/C, fridge, HD cable TV, comfortable bed. The shower/restroom was ALWAYS clean. Washer & dryers very convenient and appreciated. Front desk service is very pleasant and efficient. Security is their priority and right there available. This location is top notch when looking for food, street venders, CVS nearby, restaurants all along 2nd Ave, subway stations are just a short walk away.
