Park Central Hotel needs to be cleaned throughly and updated
I spent 3 days at this hotel over a long weekend. The location (just 2 blocks from Central Park) was ideal for us. The staff was somewhat helpful if not uninterested in assisting people. If your room is not ready (tried to check in 15 minutes early), you must check your bags for $3.50 each. There is no free wifi available, and the lady at check-in suggested the nearby Starbucks. Our first room was so filthy that we asked to change rooms. The second room they gave us was slightly better, but still way below what we are used to in terms of upkeep and quality. Some other reviewers found this hotel to be a good value, however at around $300 a night with tax; there are many better options nearby. I will be sticking to a chain next time.
