Solid Stay Near Central Park

room kitchenette convenient microwave

the staff was friendly, and my room included a kitchenette with a fridge. i also appreciated the availability of a microwave in the room (very convenient!). the location was perfect, being just a short walk from central park.

the room furnishings was a bit dated, showing signs of wear. the ventilation system was quite noisy, especially at night. this made it somewhat challenging to sleep soundly.

convenient location helpful staff luggage storage

i appreciated the hotel's location. it made getting to different parts of the city easy. the staff at the front desk were helpful. bellhops were great (always quick with a smile). storing luggage for the day was simple and convenient, and i used the available bathroom to freshen up before heading to the airport.

i noticed the lifts were a bit small, but it was a very minor inconvenience.

central stay

convenient addition helpful advice subway station

The location was amazing. Very central, with a subway station nearby! rooms were surprisingly spacious and the kitchenette proved to be quite a convenient addition. i especially appreciated the helpful advice from the staff on the best way to reach the airport. we took their advice, and my boy was thrilled to travel on the a train.

the couch in the room was a decent size, but we had to use it for some of our luggage. this happened, because there were no luggage racks available in the room despite other rooms having them.
