Arrived on a Sunday and the girl at the front desk was slow but super friendly. She pulled out city maps and helped us find our way around. The more you ask the more info you get. We were supposed to get a semi private room that we would share a bathroom with 1 other room ended up in a... more

This YMCA was not worth the money. The front staff were unprofessional. The place felt like a half way house. None of the urinals worked and the only shower that worked was the shared double shower. Mirrors were missing from the washbasins, so a simple shave became a hassle. The room smelt and was noisy (traffic and snoring from next... more

This is a homeless shelter that rents rooms. The main lobby is lavish, but once you get upstairs (3rd Floor) you have a locked mental ward and rehab client's rooms all around you. The men's shared bathroom should be condemned. Broken toilets and urinals are the majority. Toothless women "inmates" are even in-and-out of the men's bathrooms lookin for their... more
