Location1542Strength

I’m also so grateful that there is a budget hotel on the Upper West Side – the location is beautiful for the price.

Google, May 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest

Location is great, parking garage is close by and central park is a hop skip and a jump away.

Booking network, March 2026, rated 7/10 by this guest

The location is misleading: useful subway and bus stops are a good half-mile away.
