Riverside Tower Hotel

The staff were helpful and cooperative. Upon arrival the room was extremely cold. It seems as if there was no heat on. It's bad enough it was already cold to turn on the tv to find out there was only about 4 working channels. The showers were about 2 by 3 feet wide; very small. There was a day I woke up to find out there was no water. We called the receptionist about 2-3 times to figure out what was going on. She was nice enough to give me a room with water but the water was FREEZING COLD, no hot water available. Who bathes in cold water in the winter? Besides all of the negatives, this place was fairly convenient. Two tiny blocks away from the subway station, and a lot of stores surrounding the neighborhood. Great employees.

Great location, sits 3-4 blocks from Central Park that overlooks the River. Honestly, it's not the best place, and with the size of the rooms, you get the authentic New York experience, but at rates $90/night, you really cannot go wrong. It is clean though. I went for nightly walks around the neighborhood, it's really safe. Also, it's about a block away from the subway so that's an added bonus.

When I was there last year, I met an elderly couple who always stays at this place when they come into town. For the budget traveler who wants the privacy that a hostel can't offer, this is a must.

Small but adequate. The rooms are a bit tight but thats what you get in NYC I guess

It's not a modern facility but the price is right and it's nicely located. The room however was exceptionally small. I just imagine the apartments in New York the same way, so in the end it gave a nice cultural experience.

This hotel is absolutely the worst Ive ever been to. The rooms are incredibly small, there aren't any locks on the doors and two rooms share the same bathroom. Any guest could easily walk in at any time of the night. Some rooms have mini fridges and microwaves, some don't... Mine didn't. The only thing that was good was the view over looking the Hudson River, but that SHOULDNT be a selling point because you would have to be fortunate enough to be on a floor high enough to see the Hudson and in a room that faces out toward the Hudson. The rooms are poorly insulated and not sound proofed you hear everything. I would give 0 stars if I could.
