Neighbourhood

Upper West Side

Nestled between Central Park and the Hudson River, the Upper West Side offers iconic architecture and a quiet, residential respite from the buzzing energy of downtown. Along Central Park West are many of the city’s most iconic apartment buildings, as well as the American Museum of Natural History, which has been welcoming visitors to its historic exhibit halls for over 140 years. Culture fans will love Lincoln Center, home to some of the world’s best opera, dance, film, and theatre performances, all centrally located around a beautiful fountain. Spanning the entire length of the Upper West Side, Riverside Park is ideal for a long, leisurely stroll in a quiet green space.

Dishonest Terms

We arrived there for our stay arranged through Booking.com. I had seen the fine print which said residents of New York City are not permitted to stay there. Not a problem, as we are from upstate. Yet they refused to allow us to stay, though our licenses clearly reflect our…

This is certainly not how we want any of our guests starting their much-anticipated trip with us and will absolutely be reviewing your experience with the appropriate teams to see how these inconsistencies could have occurred on our part.

We got this deal on Groupon (just under 200 USD for 3 nights). We had a private room with an ensuite and was located on the 6th floor. Hotel was quite dated but I would say it a lot of character and the real brick walls were really nice and homely! Lift is very old and states it…

Ok for one night

I booked this hotel for its easy access from the Henry Hudson Parkway as I was driving into the city. That being said I would mot stay here again. The room was dirty. There was visible thick dust all along the edges of the carpet, as if it had never been vacuumed. The mattresses…

Close to Everything and Coffee ☕️😁

Hotel has the basics. It’s close to restaurants, coffee shops, transportation. The staff was awesome! Very helpful! Thanks to Johnathan, Denise and Luis for great suggestions. The room is very small, just enough to be cozy. They have a shared microwave and fridge near the…

Good if you’re on a budget

I wouldn’t get the shared bathroom room as it is very small and uncomfortable, the windows are too hard to open so it gets very hot and musty really quick. I think if we upgraded to a better room it would have been a lot more enjoyable but even our dresser drawers were broken…

Hey! Read in another hotel booking site that the rooms with private bathroom come with a bathtub...do they also have a shower? Or can you choose between bath and shower? Thanks in advance for the help!

We only had a shower in our room.

We have booked a,double with private bathroom. Will we get tea and coffee making? TIA.

They did provide a kettle on request, but I don't know whether or not they provided tea or coffee. They did provide cups. We took our own tea and coffee sachets anyway. Manhattan Diner near the Subway station for great food and breakfast. Ask for directions.
