For the value for money we weren't expecting the best but I would not even leave my catin this place. Nothing was clean, we didn't feel our possessions or ourselves were safe. Don't let the outside or surroundings fool you, inside it is old, smells dank and was filthy. I felt unclean just looking at the bedroom. I'm usually fairly... More

The Riverside Tower is a hotel with a specific purpose in life. If you're on a budget and want to spend time seeing Manhattan and now hanging around the hotel, then this is the place. The rates are almost unheard of in the City. You get basic accommodations (it was once a dorm for Columbia University), a comfortable bed and... More

I have stayed here before and know the room is extremely small. This time I was on a higher floor and you could feel the breeze coming through and hear the traffic and dogs barking like they were on the other side of the pane. No way to adjust temp of room. Never in my life have I needed to... More

I have stayed at this hotel several times now. For the money, you can't beat it. Where else can you get a suite with two rooms and the ability to sleep four people in Manhattan for $150 a night. This trip was with my wife and two kids (11 and 8). The full size bed was a bit tight for... More

Rooms are tiny. There's a cheap looking desk and a mini-fridge at the bottom of your bed; your bed is not against the wall and there is no headboard. There is no hairdryer, iron, or ironing board in your room. The room was basically clean, but the lobby was another story. The ceilings were dirty with mildew, paint was chipped,... More

You have selected the wrong hotel. You are a superior person that belongs in a luxury hotel like the Waldorf Astoria where you can have exactly what you desire for $500 or more per night. We have rooms for ordinary, normal people that are satisfied to stay with us and pay only $129 a night. Such people give us good... More

Yes, the room was small, but for father/daughter on a budget in NYC for 3 nights, it was great! Clean room, clean tiled shower, fridge, tv, microwave, wi-fi in lobby and maybe on lower floors. It was close to the subway (1 train). The staff was pleasant and helpful. They are clearly in the process of making building improvements. If... More
