very unexpensive, great location, Riverside park is great for relaxing and walking, subway 3 blocks away, nice people at the desk and room attendants, and great place to meet europeans traveling in new york

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.
