I read the reviews here that said "Bedbugs! Squalor! Mice! Cockroaches!" and I thought to myself, "I am a tough, savvy individual and I need somewhere to stay. I'll just check the room before I put...

It Was Pretty Horrible

We weren't expecting much, but what we got made our stay miserable. We were charged 80 dollars a night, and so many things were wrong that it's almost funny. The blankets were grimy, and looked and...

Stayed here in mid-2006 so I'm not sure how much things have changed now (early 2009). But I can tell you that I am (a) particularly security conscious and (b) a bit of a clean freak, and I didn't...

I booked a room a few months a ago - never got a confirmation, just an e-Mail with the dates of my planned reservation with the lines "THIS IS NOT A CONFIRMATION". I wrote them an email, asking for...

We stayed at the Greenpoint YMCA August 2-10. The rooms are basic and clean. HOWEVER- on day 5 of my stay I noticed I was getting huge hive like itchy swells on my arms and legs. Throughout the day...
