Excellent location, big rooms, but outdated
Loved my stay at the Helmsley Park Lane! I stayed in a park view room, 2 double beds. Got there at noon on a Friday on Memorial Day weekend. They had a room ready for me on the 22nd floor. Was around the corner from the elevator, and never heard a peep from another guest. The view from the room was amazing, and it was great to have Central Park out my front door! The room was the most spacious I've ever had in NYC. It is outdated, but it was comfortable and clean. (there was a small bleach stain on the floor, but oh well) Didn't eat at the hotel, but had breakfast at Astor's Diner on 6th, which was quick, tasty, and cheap. I got a great deal with Expedia, so I can say the value was great. I defiantly recommend this hotel.
