Greenpoint YMCA

Never trust staff!! They steal your personal items from locker!! I thought staff were friendly when I started coming in this YMCA, but I realized they're very lazy and helpless. I often find paper towels and wet tishes are out, I am the one always call staff. But they don't even fill them up properly. Also, one of ballet bars in the studio is completely broken, and another one is missing many screws and very unstable. Also the control panel for sauna has been broken more than months. The staff never cares and don't fix anything. On top of that, I found today the staff clipped my lock from daily use locker where I put my personal items in, they took all my staff out from a locker during business hours without no reason. I understand if that was overnight, but I visited at 10am, left gym at 12:40ish, came back at 8:30pm after work, I noticed that my locker got clipped and all of my personal items have been stolen by the staff. This must have been done by YMCA staff with special tool. I found them in THEIR OFFICE. As of 9pm on Sep 19, 2023, I'm at the front desk asking why this happened. Not acceptable.

Greenpoint is such a lovely place to stay when you are on a lean budget like in my case. The interior is super cool, clean and well-maintained. The personnel i met upon my arrival are very warm, welcoming and customer-friendly too. I booked for a private room on the 3rd floor and it's just so good for the price. However, I didn't like the fact that I have to go way down to 2nd floor in order to use restroom or bath. There's an indoor swimming pool which has a lifeguard on standby - always-always. There are also locker rooms where belongings are kept before before heading to swim.

Me and my friend slept well on the beds and they were kind of comfortable to lay on. The shared bathroom was the worst part of the stay. It was uncomfortable and the bathrooms made all the hallways smell of urine. The men's bathroom should have a sliding door that locks when your in the shower like the girls bathroom does and not a little curtain. It was a good place if you were just staying for a couple days. Not something you want to be at for a week. The "free" breakfast was only a $2.50 voucher for eggs or $2.50 off your meal. We were looking forward to getting whatever we wanted but it turned out otherwise.

The area that it was located wasn’t bad, very close to all the stores and not bothered by being across from the police station. The pros were, it was rather cheap the cons were the most of the employees there were unfriendly except for the overnight guy and two of the housekeepers everyone else looked like they hated their job or hated ppl. The bathroom was shared with the whole floor and it was dirty, the door to the room was a hassle to get it as well, overall it was an ok stay for someone who’s in a rush to get a place to stay.

The entire second floor reeked of something extremely foul the second floor is also the only place with a men's bathroom so good luck using the toilet of shower in this hotel. The womans bathroom is pretty nice though located on the third floor. Upon entering we also noticed the curtains being broken on one side and the beds felt like they were made of plastic.
