Disappointed in NYC
My wife and recently stayed @ The Helmsley Park Lane. While it had a beautiful view of Central Park we were very disappointed with the room, which was in serious need of upgrading. The furniture was tattered and torn as well as weak and broken table legs on the table closest to the window. The first thing I noticed was in the bathroom which had extremly thick paint on the door hinges and rust so bad it was flaking off. We stayed there because of their winter special 50% off the room rate and free continetnal breakfast, which was not as good as you could find at a more affordable chain hotel. Back to the room, one would expect in a hotel of this caliber you would find fine linens, oh but not here very cheap sheets and rough towels.In room coffee would have been nice, bit then again when you charge eleven dolloars for a small pot of coffee through room service why offer it for free. The location was very nice, but no matter the cost we will not book a stay there again.
