People at the desk were supportive, even if they were not so friendly at the phone. It was rather a hostel than a hotel. The single room wasn't small but it was in quite bad conditions with very poor furniture. No bugs in the bed, but the synthetic nature of mattress and pillow, combined with sheets and pillow case, caused... more

The previous reviewer stated that her and some college friends stayed here....well.... if you are more "mature" in your years and have settled for these type of accommodations in the past, don't settle for this "dump" now! We have stayed in older hotels in NYC before and the rooms were adequate but this place.... Something should have told me to... more

Well Myself and my partner stayed at Hotel Riverside for a week, Although the hotel is tired looking its actually comfortable. When we first entered the room on the fourth floor, it was a little scruffy, dirty marks all over the walls and the floor had not seen a vacuum for at least 3/4 days, But there was fresh sheets... more

THIS PLACE IS REALLY SCUZZY!!!! If you don't mind the LOWEST of CLASS, then go ahead, this is the place for you. The walls, doors and floors are paper thin, a piece of cardboard is thicker than the bed pillows were, the TV half assed worked, there were no utensils to rinse your mouth out with in the crummy (shared)... more

For anyone who is considering to go to this dodgy place please be warned that beds may be plagued with vicious bed bugs. The first night we slept there I had no problems but by the second day the itching started and did not stop!! We were on the 7th floor so bewarned anyone staying there. The place looked like... more

Now this is in no way a place to stay if you like your luxuries, but for a place to crash out after a day of exploring the city it's just fine. We found the room perfectly adequate for our needs; it was fairly spacious, there was a fairly comfortable bed with clean bedding (no sign of bed bugs), a... more

We were looking for a simple hotel for a week for a reasonable price. For us it was OK that we had to share restroom and shower with other guests on our floor and, generally speaking, the rooms appeared clean. However, we did have a few surprises: The shower closest to our room did not work for a couple of... more
