You don't have to spend a fortune to have an amazing time in New York. The budget-friendly Royal Park Hotel offers no-frills accommodations on the Upper West Side, just a half-mile west of the city's best free attraction: big, beautiful Central Park. Or walk less than 5 minutes in the other direction and find yourself in picturesque Riverside Park, with a promenade along the Hudson River. It's the perfect place for a morning run or an afternoon picnic. The neighborhood is also chock-a-block with affordable diners, pizzerias, and ethnic eateries. The American Museum of Natural History/Rose Center for Earth and Space, 1.5 miles from the hotel, is well worth the price of admission. Giant dinosaurs, gems, and meteorites, along with the famous dioramas, are sure to fuel your imagination. And if all this sightseeing has fueled your appetite, stop by Zabar's, a massive food emporium about halfway between the museum and the hotel. Visiting Columbia University? The campus is less than 1 mile north of the hotel. The 96th Street subway station, 3 blocks away, offers convenient access to all the attractions of Midtown--including Times Square, of course--and Lower Manhattan. The lobby of this smoke-free hotel is stocked with conveniences. You can stash your valuables in the safe-deposit boxes behind the 24-hour front desk, and ask for a few dining suggestions while you're at it. You could also do some research yourself with the lobby's complimentary wireless Internet access. Two computer kiosks offer high-speed Internet access for a surcharge. Hotel Rooms come with either private or shared bathrooms. Beds are layered with white European linens and oversized pillows. TVs include cable channels. All Hotel Rooms have ceiling fans, and some include air conditioning. Pick a Hotel Rooms with a private bathroom, and you'll enjoy a walk-in shower with a rainfall showerhead. Hair dryers are available upon request.
