Review summary

Powered by AI
Riverside Tower Hotel enjoys a great location, a short walk to Central Park and close to the subway for easy access around the city. Many guests appreciate the clean, modern rooms and have found them well-equipped with amenities, though some have noted they can be on the smaller side. The hotel is conveniently located near Zabar's, ideal for breakfast, and some rooms even offer pleasant views of the river and nearby park. Free coffee in the morning is a nice touch for many.

great experience overall

nice firmnesscute shower designroom setuppoor isolation
i am grateful for the room setup, its whole design worked well. the bed provided nice firmness, just the way i like it. the shower design seemed very cute to me. i will certainly be back sometime soon.
the door did not properly isolate sound and light from the hallway. i could hear noise from the hallway. the window faced the street. light from streetlights brightened the room during the night.
