Small rooms, old property, but clean with friendly, helpful staff. If you're looking for something fancy, this is not the place. If you're just looking for a place to stay in a decent neighborhood, relatively close to the subway and restaurants, Riverside Tower Hotel will meet your needs.

They do not explicitly mentioned they do not have parking included, which was a really bad start taking the consideration we had 14 hours road trip along with kids and my parents. However one of the staff (an Asian guy, I believe his name was Afran) has taken out his own car from a public spot and gave it to me, and mentioned he would be fine. This was an amazing kindness gesture unfortunately you don’t see very often nowadays. This guy for sure went an extra mile to satisfy customers, very good.

Stay #2 for a Yankee Vacation

This is my 2nd trip to this property. 2 adults, 1 - 10 year old, and 1 - 15 year old who is an adult in his size. We had 2 rooms with a connecting bathroom. 4 twin beds total - trundle beds! We were in NYC for 2 baseball games and some good food, so a room fit for a king was not needed. However, there was a small table, 2 chairs, a fridge, and microwave - this came in handy when we were too tired to go out and had food from Zabars in the room for a meal - 2 short blocks from hotel. The rooms are small, the beds are small, the rooms are old, the hotel is old, but I did find it clean. Window unit A/C worked well for us. The WIFI was more miss than hit, but the TV was working very well if we needed to be entertained or to check the weather and news. The staff was great. This property has 2 main selling points - location & price. A third, for me, would be 4 twin beds - great for our party. Location - Upper West Side, in a nice quiet neighborhood. 79th St 1 train is a 3 block walk. Yankee Stadium was a 30 minute subway trip and Penn Station was a 10 minute trip. Natural History Museum is an easy walk and Central Park as well. Across the street from the hotel is Riverside Park - a hidden gem to walk. And the my deciding factor - the price. NYC - 4 people, 4 beds, 2 very small rooms, Upper West Side. I would rather spend my money on activities and food and find a cheap, clean, ideally situated hotel, and that is what I have found in this property.

Goodtimes!

I liked the small room. It had the basic things I needed. My only problem was three days that I had smelly sheets placed on my bed. The first night it happened I ignored it because I thought it was just my imagination. The second night I took the sheet off my bed and wrapped up with a towel. The third night I called the front desk in the middle of the night to complain, and they sent me some clean sheets. I had the guy to smell the sheets so he could see that I was not being difficult. My stay was for two weeks, so I had not had this smelly sheet problem before. The first few nights of my stay I did wake up with a few bug bites. The staff was very nice, and the location was excellent. The M5 bus stops right in front of the building on Riverside Drive, and it can take you to Harlem and Downtown Manhattan. That was a plus for me when the trains were unbearable. The air conditioner was a life saver because of the heat wave. It gave me life! They say that this is not a good place for kids, well take it from me, it’s not. There was a baby on my floor that cried a lot. The walls are thin, so the cries of a baby will keep you up at night. Please don’t bring babies here. The elevators are very tiny and slow. I took the stairs a few times because I was just on the 8th floor. The elevators does not look wide enough to fit a wheelchair or those big bulky baby strollers. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. I hope to stay here again in the future.

Great for the price

This Hotel is definitely no frills! It’s not. Updated and doesn’t have the amenities one would expect at a hotel. Its an old charming building and with that comes what one would expect from an old charming building. A rickety elevator a regular key for the doors a phone dating back to the 80’s :). However, the location is exceptional, the staff friendly and helpful. The room was cleaned well everyday. For upper west side New York you can’t beat the price. I recommend if you don’t need amenities.

Nothing exceptional or special about this place. But I need a clean, safe, functional hotel in a good area that did not cost an arm and a leg, and this fit the bill perfectly. Bed and bathroom were perfectly fine and functional, but small. I would not hesitate to come back to this place. Great value for the money, by NYC standards and the location cannot be beat

過ごしやすい低コストホテル。

家族二人でベット２台の部屋を予約しました。夕方にチェックインしましたがフロントの対応も滞りなく順調に対応してくれました。電気ケトルとへヤードライアーもすぐに貸していただき良かったです。地下の倉庫にランドリーが１台あり、２ドル(25￠６枚)で洗濯も出来ました。エレベーターが狭いのとフルさが気にならなければ立地も良い低コストなホテルです。日本語が出来るスタッフは１名ですがスタッフの対応は皆良かったです。１階の元のカフェスペースが空いているのがもったいないと思いました。フリースペースのように活用できればさらに良いと思います。

En härlig NY-vecka i bra område, nära T-bana för alla besök i Chelsea, Soho och Greenwich Village. Nära till bra restauranger på Amsterdam och Columbus, liksom till Central Park och crosstown bus. Nära Riverside Park med fint strandcafé vid Hudson River. Små rum, inga sällskapsrum, helt OK när man inte planerar tillbringa tid på hotellet.

The hotel is conveniently located on the upper west side and the rates were about the lowest available for rooms with private bathrooms. That said, it is a bare bones kind of place. The bed was comfortable and the room seemed clean; however, there was a big plumbing access hole in the bathroom wall (a jerry-rigged cover for it had fallen off and was sitting on the floor), and the bedside table was a folding tv tray table. The AC was about 4' from my head and was very loud. The door to the room is just a wooden hollow core door with no security lock--not sure how this meets code! The single room is tiny. My room was very quiet once the AC was off. Front desk staff were very nice and check in/check out was easy and quick. Zabar's is two blocks away if you want a quick breakfast or to get snacks for the little fridge in the room.
