The Interfaith Retreat is really well located for sites like Times Square, Rockefeller and Central Park, and check in was straightforward despite arriving at 11pm. Those are this place’s positives - the downsides are short beds (6ft long with a wall at both ends), noisy sleeping space due to no ceilings (likely requiring the provided earplugs since ~40% men snore), and a cramped shared bathroom with mouldy shower curtains.
During my stay there were extermination notices up for a couple of days’ time, encouraging that they are using exterminators but concerning not knowing whether I needed to watch for any bugs.
For $110 per night I didn’t feel this space was worth the money and recommend others try shared spaces in private homes.
