Feedback about Riverside Tower Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Riverside Tower Hotel is appreciated for its location, a short walk to the subway and convenient to Central Park and the Natural History Museum. Guests enjoy the views from rooms, especially from higher floors like the 11th, and appreciate the availability of free coffee and tea in the common area with a fridge and microwave. While most find the rooms clean and well-renovated, some guests have mentioned that the single rooms can feel quite small. The hotel is located on a quiet street and easily accessible by bus.

I appreciated the amazing Hudson River view from my room. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and deodorant were available, which I found very useful. The bed felt comfortable. the whole hotel was very clean. Coffee for breakfast was a plus, though I had thought more breakfast options would be available.

acceptable locationawkward shuffling
The location proved acceptable for my purposes.
The room was small. Opening the door required placing my suitcase on the bed first. Then, getting between the bed and the sink (which could not fit in the bathroom, unfortunately) involved some awkward shuffling. Clearly, space is a premium.
