"The Park Central was mostly a 3 star experience. The price for the location was a good value: a couple blocks to Central Park, a few blocks the other way to Times Square, subway station literally steps away, and the Heaven on 7th deli a few doors down was excellent. The room was clean, and the staff was professional and pleasant. Yes, there was a deposit, and yes, the elevators were small. The hotel was described as "classic New York experience" but I'm not sure what that means. Our room was...

"Great location, on the whole a good hotel. However the beds are small (you expect small rooms in New York!) and there are no tea/coffee facilities in the room. When we arrived, we had booked the two bed room as three of us were staying, but the beds were not big enough for two to share. So we upgraded to a suite and had two beds and a sofa bed - staff were helpful to arrange."

"We understand it’s a budget hotel. But it’s still our money & hard-earned. The hotel is poor and there was no hot water one day. No internet as promised and the room is trashy. I will say the room service/cleaners are brilliant against overwhelming odds. Unfortunately it’s the management that doesn’t care or bother. Anyway stay at your risk and hey you might be surprised. I was not. Poor show!"
