I have stayed at many hotels in the city and this was my worst experience. Awakened by jack hammers and banging on the walls at 8am. No glasses or ice bucket in the room. No coffee pot in room nor in the lobby. The phone is more complicated than usual, without instructions. The elevator area has a key pad one... More

Just had another great stay at the Park Central in New York City. This was my 8th stay at this hotel. I was there for three nights April 29-May 2 2013. The hotel is going through a reno, but you would never know it. The rooms are big by New York standards, very, very clean and the staff is among... More

Pros: location and attentive staff. Cons: the shabby unrenovated rooms, the cost for the dingy rooms, and the fact that the housekeeping staff will try to clean your room at 9am unless you put out the "no way" card on the door (they are rather rude about it, as if you should have expected a 9am visit... Not cool while... More

For the umpteenth time visiting New York I once again checked in to the Park Central despite the high price to service ratio I have previously experienced. This time took the biscuit - when I checked in at about 3pm the whole front of the hotel was closed for renovation and I had to wheel my case to a small... More

After a day and night of unfriendly airline travel I arrived at the Park Central Hotel early afternoon, and knowing I was possibly too early to check in I stopped at the welcome desk and was greeted by the warm smile of one of the Guest Relations Managers, Ms. Cacovic. The room was quiet, open, clean, comfortable and supported all... More

I love New York City! And I love staying in the heart of everything and so close to places like Times Square, Fifth Avenue, and Central Park. So, the Park Central should have been the ideal location. Regrettably, the hotel is currently undergoing renovations. That should not have been a problem but, apparently the renovations have impacted on not only... More

We stayed at the hotel despite the fact that it was under renovation due to limited choices that weekend and reasonably priced rooms (by NYC standards). We stayed in a renovated room. The room was nice but it was nothing special for a higher end hotel. The bottom line is that there are a lot of inconveniences during the renovations... More

Make sure you get a renovated room. The hotel was being renovated. We did not get a renovated room and it was a problem. They resolved this by upgrading us to a suite...and it was SWEET!!! Beautiful rooms, separate sitting area. Great view of time square. Lots of places to eat close by. Subway station across the street. They do... More
