Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"This hotel is well located and convenient to shops, restaurants, tour buses, and public transit. It seems to have been recently renovated with new flooring, bathroom, furnishings, etc. The staff were kind and helpful. I'd recommend the hotel and would stay again. A couple notes though. Breakfast really isn't much but some takeaway pastries. There are lots of restaurant options around though. The heating/cooling seems not to have been updated - circa 1970s? Though the old temp dial was set in the 60s, my 2nd floor room never really cooled down. The fan control worked though to blow around the warm air. At least I could open a window. The fan in the bathroom was hanging down from the ceiling. The low ceilings made that pretty obvious but just needs a maintenance fix."
