Park Central Hotel New York

Leo Blanco

We stayed in mid February 2 adults 2 children on a double room. To be honest, the hotel is very good for the price you pay, where the hotel is. The room was clean, bathroom was clean, beds were comfortable, heating system worked, hot water worked, and elevators worked (checking on some of the complaints I did read on other comments). I booked before reading the reviews and I was almost cancelling, but since the pattern is that people with negative experiences tend to post more, we kept our reservation. The room was ample for Manhattan on that price range (even with a working desk that we needed!). The gym was good (peloton bikes, rowing machines, treadmills, free weights... Clean and taken care of), there is an option for fast breakfast at the hotel, but PLENTY of amazing coffee shops in 5 minutes, plenty of restaurants of all kinds, Central Park at two blocks, Time Square five minute walk... Again, it is not the Plaza for sure - but for what you pay, it is really good. We would go back there with no problem. And the people at the hotel, really friendly. So... Happy with the choice and cost.

We had a wonderful stay - i were in NY with my family in room 714. Big room very clean. the hotel is in the middle between times square and central park, next to the tube. Fantastic location if you have to visit NY. I was charged twice for the room for error but they solved quickly. I wish to come back soon.

This is a very centrally located hotel and was convenient to the sites and subway. However, that is about where it ends for the benefits of staying in this hotel. We stayed Dec 20-24, and reading the other reviews we had level set expectations. We also acknowledge that we paid a lot less for this hotel than others in the area over the same dates; so we knew going in it wasn’t going to be the best experience. At the end of the day, I would never stay at this hotel again and strongly consider others to think about doing so. I can look past the tattered window shades, etc… but what I think are basic items for a successful stay- the temperature of the room and hot water- are things that did not deliver on this stay. Our room seemed to be in a “heat only” mode- and our room was like a furnace! It was extremely uncomfortable and there was no way to cool the room down- we had the thermostat set at 65, and the heat was constantly on. Also, hot water is a scarcity in this hotel. The elevators are a HUGE issue- sometimes waiting over 30minutes to get on an elevator. Many times we chose to walk down or up to our room on the 18th floor. At the end of the day, it was a good thing that we were out most of the day enjoying the sites; but what is supposed to be a respite from exploring the busy streets, this is not that hotel.

If you are taking a trip to see the city, this is the perfect location! Centrally located to all th must sees. We walked most everywhere from the hotel. Ubers and taxis were also readily available and super easy to use. The rooms are small but perfectly comfortable. We honestly didn’t spend much time in them anyway. The elevators were fast enough. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. The restaurant wasn’t the best in my opinion. The area has tons of other options. Right down the street was a little Irish pub and it was delicious! Get the New York strip sandwich for sure! Thanks again Park Central for a great trip!!

Looks nicer in photos, the lobby is nice but that’s about it. Lipstick on a pig - the rooms are not well maintained, dated, and carpet is dirty. There is not enough staff, and all of the staff I encountered seemed stressed and not friendly. Front desk line is very long throughout the day and they aren’t very helpful. Don’t bother calling they won’t answer. They do not provide any bottled water. Location is convenient. I’ve been waiting days for a receipt despite asking numerous times.
