Great upper Manhattan option
I selected Radio Hotel because it was the only decent-looking hotel in Manhattan at a reasonable price that day. Location was much farther uptown than I've ever stayed so I was a little hesitant, but ultimately the reviews were positive, so I went for it. Hotel itself is quite lovely. An old building that's been retrofitted into a cool modern hotel. Typical of Manhattan, my room was tiny, but served my purpose. Service was friendly and helpful. The resort fee that's required and only gets you watered-down cocktails or a cheap beverage from the cooler is frustrating but becoming the norm nowadays for hotels. The location is GREAT for someone that's driving INTO the city but doesn't want to drive AROUND the city. Coming in on the George Washington Bridge and taking the Cross Bronx Expressway you can exit very close to the hotel and the on-ramp to get back on the expressway is literally across the street from the hotel. Easy in and easy out. Secure parking garage just around the corner. The subway is a couple of blocks away, but it's a perfectly fine walk. Just plan a long time if you're trying to get to Midtown because of how far North it is. Probably wouldn't be my first choice to stay at again because of how disconnected it is from Midtown, but certainly no regrets. If it was the best option, I would have no hesitation to stay here again.
