I'm going to stay in a hotel that is on 95th and Broadway. I am concern that the area might be ghetto since it is near Harlem.

goto to hotels.com and check out the feedback about that particular hotel... the visitors can leave feedback and if the area is ghetto, then I quite sure somebody would say so...
Also check out other website that offer feedbacks about the hotels... this is a good way of obtaining insight info...

Days Inn ? No cause for alarm . Definitely not ghetto it's actually a pretty decent area.
The subway is one block north. Central Park is two blocks east
On of the great food stores in NYC -Zabars- is 15 blocks south[ .75 mi ] they close at 7:30 pm M-F 8:00 PM Sa & 6:00 Pm Su
Stop by , take some time cruise the store and then pickup some dinner or late night noshes.The almond croissants are incredible
In NYC it is OK to ask for a taste of a food you may not be familiar with,as a matter of fact it's expected.
One of the largest cathedrals in the world -St John the Divine is about a mile from there .Definetly worth a visit
Go one block East to Amsterdam ave,go[left] 15 blocks later -church
The main campus of Columbia University is 6 north of the Cathedral
Enjoy NYC
Don't let the non-natives scare you from staying there,they know not of what they speak

You're still in Central Park West - nowhere near Harlem.
I drove down Broadway in that neighborhood at 3 AM one night back in 2003 - I never felt concerned for my safety. {EDIT} I forgot looking over my shoulder to the Columbia U campus - very pretty even at 3 AM.
Even Harlem has improved tremendously from days past. The East side tends to be dicier - but tenements there go for $1 million or so.

95th St. is actually about a mile south of Harlem. So not ghetto at all, that's actually a really nice neighborhood. You're south of Morningside Heights, where Columbia University is situated.

95th & Broadway is the Upper Westside of Manhattan. It is actually a nice neighborhood with lots of stores and restaurants. The real estate is actually expensive nowadays, which is always a good indication that the neighborhood is safe. Subway and buses are all nearby. Great location.

Its not ghetto at all. You will see some high priced condo even further north. Broaday is pretty well gentrified all the way up to the 120's. Even the 'ghetto' as you call it isnt that bad.
Your hotel is a block from the Subway and you can get anywhere in a few mintures.

Even Harlem isn't as bad as people portray it to be, I went to NY in july and went to Harlem for some nice soul food.

no. it's actually a nice neighborhood. you don't hit harlem until 114th street, and it's still good at 114th. it's the 100's on the east side you probably don't want to wander around in.
you should know, though, that new york is a remarkably safe city.

youre fine, and harlem actually has some nice areas to it.
trust me, you will be able to tell.
the other guy is right, steer clear of the areas in the 100's
