Greenpoint YMCA — Hotel in New York

I stayed here for 3 days and for $70 US a night for my own room it was perfect. It is nothing fancy and you have to walk to the bathroom from your room but I had a comfortable bed, TV, air conditioning and the location was great. ||Close to the subway and the hip area of Williamsburg was great but the thing that made this place stand out for me was that because it is part of a fitness Centre and gym, all guests get free access to all the classes, pool and sauna. While I was there I did a Pilates and a yoga class. Both excellent. You can also do strength classes and even spin classes, there are about 10 a day to choose from and all free!||Another awesome benefit is the free breakfast from a diner one block away. You get an egg and bacon roll (or any other variety if you are vegetarian).||These extra benefits saved me so much money and it was so good to be able to get back into the gym especially after all the delicious food I have been eating on this trip!!||I read reviews that is was noisey. I was lucky and in a room down the end of the hall, I just put my aircon on fan and that sound drowned out all over noise.||Oh 1 other thing, the YMCA is directly across the road from the NY police department so I always felt so safe (especially being a solo female pregnant traveller). ||Thanks so much...

Wish I had read Trip Advisor before booking this place and had I not been jet-lagged from a long international flight, injured, and prepaid for 6 nights, I would not have even stayed here AT ALL. SO GROSS!!!! And the website pictures and description is VERY misleading. Even though this is a "non-smoking" place, my room STANK of smoke. The bathrooms (female) had hair on the walls, black mould (yes ,black mould) in the shower, and often ran out of toilet paper -- and mostly smelled of urine. I repeatedly spoke to staff and the manager, and they made minor attempt to rectify matters, but really did nothing when they said they would, kept making empty promises. If you decide to book to stay here, take LOTS of hand sanitizer, slippers and shower flip flops, and try not to touch anything. The AC works ok. There is a TV and Wifi was decent. Only thing GOOD about this place was 1. lGreat location in Greenpoint. 2. Felt decently safe with reception 24 hours (though staff are often on their cellphones) but the Y is next to the police station. However, room doesn't have a double lock, so was concerned a guest or staff could find a way into my room 3. Cheap. But seriously, it's not worth it. Knowing what I know now, I would rather have paid for a hotel or AirBnB. If you HAVE NO...
