Top Upper West Side Hotel Reviews

Night Hotel Broadway

8/10 Good

"I stayed here for my birthday staycation. It was small and basic, but just what I needed for the price. Especially since I was out and about most of the time. I just needed a place to sleep and shower. It was a good location convenient for click transportation and good restaurants in short walking distance. My only critique is the room need some art work or something to make it a little cozier. The staff was friendly and helpful."

Hotel Belleclaire Central Park, a Small Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to Central Park, just a 7 minute walk! Staff recommended an awesome family owned restaurant which was in walking distance. If you needed info on transportation, etc they went above and beyond! This is our second stay at this hotel. Will be back again !"
