Park Central Hotel New York

no front desk service after 10pm.. by phone in room..

Prós: location- price

Contras: There was not a USB charger in the room.. my phone and IPAD ran out of battery and I haven't stayed in a hotel that didn't have a USB plug int he room in a long time. I tried calling concierge and front desk. but you get a recording after 10PM.. not the best service for business..

Good location, poor service!

Prós: Comparing with Hyatt (4 stars) in DC, Holiday inn (3 stars) in Buffalo and Holiday inn (3 stars) at 57th street NYC, this so called 4 stars hotel-Park central is nothing. The only advantage you have is location.1.The room is quite small, no coffee maker (I requested 2 times by phone, excluded I came to the front desk to request face to face),no refrigerator(you need to request, the quantity is limited and no one replied about whether they would supply or not.) 2.No hair conditioner in the bottle at the first night I stayed.After the third night, I left a note in the bathroom for the housekeeper and said"please refill the conditioner. Thanks." No one cared about this. The bottle was still empty. 3. Airconditioner was broken. Luckily the front desk changed a room for me. This is the worst experience I have in NYC. I am pretty sure I will not choose this hotel in the future and tell others about this experience. Again, if you don't care about the service at all, choose it. If you don't mind to walk several minutes more to Times Square or other sites and want better service and bigger room, Holiday inn midtown at 57th street is a good choice. And the rate is lower than park central.

Linen not changed

Prós: Location

Contras: After dinner , wife an I ready to go to bed, my wife noticed pillow cases nor linen was changed. We are avid travelers, we were horrified! Head of housekeeping had it changed at 9:00, but wife an I were tired and this event made us stand in hallway for almost an hour till changes were made.

Prós: Location

Contras: Not friendly staff, small rooms, overpriced, hidden fees

Very Old Hotel - Ugly Rooms

Prós: Excellent location next to Central Park

Contras: Too expensive. Poor interior quality. Very old rooms. (There was no refrigerator !!!). The hotel pictures are not accurate of its true condition.
