The Royal Park Hotel is a budget hotel that doesn't offer much in terms of features or services, but has a convenient location on the charming Upper West Side. The location is the highlight here and it attracts budget travelers exploring the city. There are plenty of dining options and shops in the neighborhood, plus the 1, 2, 3, subway lines are just a two-minute walk away. The 60 guest rooms are small, tired, and have limited amenities that include flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi (some rooms have a poor connection). Bathrooms are either shared or private, but they're also small, cramped, and in need of updates. For more features, check out the West Side YMCA, where rooms are also small and even more simple, but guests have access to fitness facilities and two pools.

The Edge Hotel is a small and stylish two-and-a-half pearl property that opened in 2016 in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood. Located a few minutes' walk from Columbia University Medical Center and three subway lines, the hotel is convenient for hospital visitors as well as tourists who want to be close to The Cloisters and don't mind taking a subway ride to the sights. The 54 compact and modern rooms provide 42-inch flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffeemakers, and some Manhattan views. However, walls are thin. Amenities include free continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour grab-and-go kiosk, and a small, but modern, fitness center. The lobby is decorated with local artwork. Travelers wanting to be closer to Midtown could also try the Morningside Inn, a bare-bones property on the Upper West Side that has lower rates.
