The NYLO New York City is a beautifully designed upscale hotel on the Upper West Side. Decor combines industrial-chic pieces with Art Deco details in both the public spaces and rooms. The hotel's three restaurants are each notable in their own right and there is a wonderful library off of the lobby. Outdoor terraces on the 14th and 16th floors provide sweeping views of the Hudson River, Central Park, and Midtown skyline. But the on-site fitness center is small, and there is a pesky fee for Wi-Fi in the rooms (it is free in public spaces). Free Wi-Fi can be found at the similarly priced Hotel Belleclaire across the street, but rooms there aren't as stylish.

The Comfort Inn Central Park West is a solid budget option on Manhattan's quiet Upper West Side. Though the rooms are dated and some are small, the hotel offers basic amenities and some perks, including free breakfast, newspapers, and Wi-Fi. Prices are often among the lowest in this great location, just down the street from Central Park and near some of the city's best museums. It's also worth considering the nearby, and nicer, NYLO New York City and Belleclaire New York, which can have similar rates.

This 127-room walk-up hotel (no elevator!) is a bit cramped and worn around the edges, but a beautiful Moroccan-style lobby and a cocktail lounge from Sookk Thai restaurant make it a fair option if you want to be near Central Park and Columbia University, in the nontouristy northern outskirts of the Upper West Side.

The Hotel Newton is a budget property on Manhattan's Upper West Side, where it benefits by having a shortage of competing nearby budget hotels. Its a bare-bones building with no fitness center, bar, or meeting rooms. There's no breakfast service, though a relationship with a neighboring diner provides for some measure of room-service. The 108 rooms are dated, but clean and equipped with mini-fridges and microwaves. However, not all have private bathrooms, and there's a fee for Wi-Fi. Travelers may prefer the nearby Days Inn Hotel New York City - Broadway, which has more up-to-date rooms and free Wi-Fi.

This 347-room Days Inn has some positives: a great location on the residential Upper West Side; spacious rooms; and free Wi-Fi. But overall, the property feels dated, despite ongoing renovations. Rooms on the upper floors are bright, with modern decor and updated technology, but lower floors that have not received renovations are dated and musty. On-site amenities are few; there is a small fitness center with just two machines and a similarly sized business center. Rates are reasonable, but it's worth comparing with other properties in the area, such as the Newton Hotel or Marrakech Hotel.

The Belnord Hotel offers rooms at some of the most reasonable prices in Manhattan –- this is truly a budget property. The trade-off is space; the rooms are minuscule (the Double Rooms only fit a bed and one end table –- that’s it). However, each room has a private bath and the hotel is clean and quiet. Located on a residential street on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the Belnord is removed from the bustle and noise of Midtown and is a short subway ride away to many sights. Offering limited amenities to keep the price down, the hotel is good for guests only looking for a place to shower and sleep.

Astor on the Park is marketed toward tourists on a budget. The lack of amenities helps keep prices low, but it also means there isn't much to do within the hotel, as there is no breakfast room, limited seating in the lobby, and no fitness facility. Wi-Fi, annoyingly, comes with a fee, which detracts a bit from the value. No-frills rooms are compact and a bit stuffy, and TVs offer a slim selection of channels, many of which are Spanish-speaking only. Pillows and bedding are basic, and there is visible wear and tear -- torn bed platforms, nicked furniture. The Astor is across the street from Central Park, a few blocks from the B, C trains, and within a 15-minute walk of Columbia University. Rates are among the lowest anywhere in the city, but it may also be worth considering Hostelling International or Broadway Hotel & Hostel.

This budget hotel provides some of the best prices in town, and the two-bedroom suites are a particular value with prices typically under $200. Built in 1913, this tower offers 120 rooms rising 17 floors in the attractive Upper West Side. It's a breeze to get to for drivers traveling from the West Side Highway, and patient parkers are often rewarded with free spots along the side streets. Rooms and two-bedroom suites have basic decor, mini-fridges, and microwaves. The outdated lobby is next to a cute cafe operated by sisters. The quiet location across from Riverside Park is a draw -- though guests may hear noise from neighboring rooms. All rooms are getting flat-screen TVs and new shower tiling, though the ugly comforters seem to be here to stay.

Families, student groups, and business travelers alike (think visiting professors at nearby universities) stay at this former apartment building, located on a residential street between Riverside and Central Parks. The 124 units are equipped with kitchenettes (microwaves, no stoves), and guests can stock mini-fridges from specialty food stores like nearby Zabar's, but need not worry about breakfast -- the continental spread is included in the price. This older building certainly has its quirks, but traditional decor has been updated to include white duvets and flat-screen TVs. The lobby leads to a fitness center, business center, and library –- which is especially cozy in the winter when the fireplace roars. Wi-Fi is free.

Trump International Hotel and Tower is a 52-story luxury property that looms large over the Southwestern corner of Central Park. The walkable location is ideal for those who want to shop at neighboring Columbus Circle or see shows at nearby Lincoln Center. The hotel is home to the world famous Jean-Georges restaurant, and also offers more casual dining at Nougatine and on a seasonal terrace. There's an indoor lap pool and a modern fitness center. The 176 guest rooms include floor-to-ceiling windows, 55-inch flat-screen TVs, and kitchenettes (in most). However, not all rooms have great views and past guests have complained that the property feels more like a luxury condo building than a hotel. As an alternative, rates are comparable at the more classic JW Marriott Essex House New York and it often has a celebrity clientele.
