Good Value At Park Central Hotel
While not cheap, the Park Central was a good value. A friend and I stayed three nights and by New York City standards, the Park Central is a standout. Got booked into a very spacious corner room with lots of windows looking out onto 7th Avenue and 56th Street including two in the bathroom. I did have a short elevator conversation with two ladies who complained that there room was small and looked out onto a wall. Dispensing with the elevator crush in the morning, yes, it's true. Waits can be long. But one of the staff members directed us to the service elevator which featured "no waiting". Service is very good, staff was quite friendly, room was very clean, everything worked properly. The hotel could improve things with a mini-bar but I would definitely stay here again. The location for us couldn't be better since we were in New York to visit galleries. MOMA is a couple of blocks away, subway is just outside the hotel, and Times Square is within easy walking distance.
