Riverside Tower Hotel

This Manhattan hotel is situated right along the Hudson River and as a result it features some great views. This is by no means a luxury hotel however and rooms are very basic. There are good restaurants in the vicinity, and gorgeous Riverside Park is across the street. The park is a great place to jog or walk, and afterward you can visit the surrounding Upper West Side neighborhood and see how New Yorkers really live. There are also subway stops convenient to the rest of Manhattan. Most rooms are available with shared bathrooms only.
